Prayers worked a miracle for us before....I believe it can do it again.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I know what it is like for your 2 other sons. My older brother did very similar things to our family. It was tough and I wish I had encouraging words, but unfortunately I don't. I just hope for the best for you and your family.

It's hard at first to work through a home invasion but it will get easier. I'm glad that no one was home when this happened and that you and the rest of your family are safe.

I agree with Mystic Cat. There's no way you could have known . He was hiding it pretty well with all that was going on this past year. Hang in there.

Wow. That's pretty awful about your son. I pray that this is him hitting bottom so that things can begin to get better.

Pam, I'm so happy to hear such good news about you and Jon (health wise and work wise!) Then I'm so terribly sorry to read about Erik. It will be hard, but I applaud your choice to get Erik the help he needs right now. Stay strong and united. You and Jon can handle this together! I also know what it's like for your other sons, so my love and best wishes goes out to them and to you all.

Pam,
I'm so sorry for what you're going through, especially at this time of the year. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you're able to get Erik into a treatment program soon.

Pam,

Oh sweetie, I feel for you! So sorry that this is happening to you...I'm seeing my best friend go through a similar situation with her stepson, and it's awful.

You are always in my prayers, and I will keep them going for you.

Can we do anything else? Anything at all?
