Jody was killed in June 2007 and the trial has been put off twice. Now it's set for February 10, 2009. I'm so **** mad and don't know how I'm going to get through it. I'm divorced and live alone and everyday seems like a nightmare. You know...you wake up every morning and hope that you just had a terrible nightmare and your child's wasn't murdered. Then reality sets in and you just go through the motions and try to survive any way you can. I had to identify the body and cannot get that picture out of my mind. I'm actually scared that I will have a nervous breakdown. Can anybody help me get through this???

I too have found strength with all the moms here. I came to this site one year ago my son was murdered in Dec. of 2007. We have been through trial and I am glad that part of this rocky road is behind me. At times I still feel like I am going to have a nervous break down. The moms here have helped me through so much and the chat room can be a real kick in the pants. It is not always fun and laughter we do mix it up.
Sending Hugs your way
Jimmy's mom Shirley
Hi Cheryl
I am glad you found your way here. I know there were so many days I thought I would not make it, in fact I didn't want to make it. Like you I had dreams that it was all a nightmare, only to wake up from the nightmare. It would set me back for days. Our minds can play some really cruel tricks on us.
I have been coming to the board since 2002 when my son Wes was murdered and it has been the best lifeline anyone could ask for.Everyone here knows the pain and torment you are going through. We know how unkind people who have not lost a child can be and we know how ----ing frustrating the so called justice system is.
We can't tell you what to do to make it better, for we each have to find our own way but we can listen to you, we can cry with you and we can talk to you. We all pray for each other and yes we even laugh and act silly sometimes. So welcome to moms.

Cheryl we are still in the beginning of the trial part. We have had the arraignment and two discoveries and we have another one on the 30th. It is hard and it gets so drawn out. Coming here is a lifeline and we are all here for you. It is a hard road we walk down now and we can lean on each other.
