Oh Marsha, I'm so sorry you've been having to deal with all of this.
I will say that it takes a very special person to take on someone
else's children as her own, regardless if they are family or not. I
applaud you for what you have done. Good luck with your son in the
future. I will keep ya'll in my prayers. ~Lacey

Other's feel he needs help. Let me begin by saying that no matter
what he ever does, he will always be my son and I will always love
him. My love for him is unconditional. If you have never had a
child, you can not begin to understand that. If you have children,
you know exactly what I mean.

because I know they come from areas of your heart that can not

devastated because someone says something "mean" to me. I can live
with it. However, I do not handle disagreements well. I hate to see
people arguing....especially if I seem to be the center of it.

ds and dd are the biological kids of my 1st cousin, therefore I am
well familiar with their background. However, she was a sorry excuse
for a parent and both kids were neglected, abused, and eventually
abandoned. Ds is 14 and dd is 12...they have lived with me on and
off their entire lives, but have been with me permanently since 1999.

Bi-Polar, and today we have been told he has conduct disorder and
reactive attachment disorder. Bottom line, he has a lot of emotional
and psychological problems. He has been in counseling since he was 4
and currently takes 5 pills a day to combat his problems.

filed an out of control petition, I have talked with our pastor and
other youth ministers in the community, and have taken him to
several doctors and even hospitalized him for a week. Nothing has
helped. Everyone sends him home. I KNOW he needs help. He is not a
MEAN kid, per se, he just has a real mental problem that I can no
longer deal with.

Hopefully, this time, they will place him somewhere. I still love
my son and want the best for him, but I can't like the person he has
become.

still no one will help me and I do not have a man in my life. (no
spouse and my dad is deceased) ds is able to physically overpower
me. So, instead of telling me what should happen....since I know
what needs to be done....I would ask that everyone please just
remember us in your prayers, you mediation, or whatever you do.

a while.

breeder, but I take great pride in the quality of my pups. I love
all animals and all of my pets are spayed/neutered except for those
chis that I breed. I rescue animals out of love to find them a home,
not to breed them. I never have and never will breed anything except
full blooded Chihuahuas. If this makes me a bad person in your book,
I am sorry you feel that way, but I do not apologize for breeding
for the betterment of a breed that holds a special place in my heart.
