Jaycojade.... as the mother of 3 sons, myself, I actually understood what you were referring to when you said Troy was your middle son ... it just tells folks that I have 3 kids and that's it, as simple as it sounds.

My heart goes out to you at this time of unrest...
May each day get easier for Troy knowing that his cry for help was heard and he has a loving, supportive network.

You have lived with a lot of pain yourself... and you have a great philosophy about life.

p.s.
In this instance, Tom, I feel that perhaps you were right in saying you were "way off base".

Dear Jaycojade,

thank you for the update. i am glad your son Troy is recovering well.

fwiw, i also took the reference to your "middle" son as you intended it.

very sorry to hear of your sisters battle with cancer and your brother's demise at the hands of those brutal "friends."

"lebelvedere"; not sure if I understand all of what you said; but I usually refer to my sons "oldest; middle or youngest" to ppl I don't know or anyone that doesn't know them. Otherwise if I know them or they know me or my sons then I refer to my sons by their own names. I don't think there's anything else to it; (but of course I could be wrong). I'm in the middle too -- or rather was growing-up; 2 older sisters & a younger sister & brother. My younger brother died 10 years ago & my younger sister 5 years ago. My sister battled 3 kinds of cancer & my brother was out drinking with some "friends" of his & then was (either passed out or already dead) & dragged onto his front porch in early winter & left there. The cops said he died from vomiting & suffocating (can't remember the legal term for it). But either way he was beatin up some & then left there. He was found by his neighbor a few hours later.

My thoughts are: Live life the best ya can---cos.....
"Tomorrow is Never Promised to Anyone"

Take care & thank you all; for your thoughts & prayers.

Hello, Jaycojade: SOOOO glad to hear your son is doing better and will be home with you soon.

I guess my point is: your son is in a transitional period. It is, consequently, a difficult, if not dangerous, period. Transition from what to what?

That is the question. Only you and he and your family can ultimately answer it. I sense it will be an answer formed by acts as much as anything else (reading books about suicide, etc.). I hope his brothers have the common sense not to had to the difficulty by teasing him, or being angry or critical; NOW IS NOT THE TIME for such things (if there ever is).

Being in the "middle" ... You, yourself, grew up in the middle. I sense that has a ringing importance for you -- as it darn well should. Consciously, rationally, you think: naw ... doesn't mean a thing. Unconsciously, on the level of feelings, it may mean a great deal. But, as you say, I could be wrong.

Your sister and brother: you have been through a lot. "Been through." You made a transition, all right. You survived, came through the other end. Think about it.

Bestest, Tom
