Hi, Jubilee,
I'm so glad you posted here. I can't imagine the trauma you've been through, and I admire you so very much for being the 'real' you with your sons.I have no doubt that Jacob is in a better place, and I think your writing him a letter that touched him probably meant very much to him.
I hope you will find this place, and perhaps other resources, that can help you deal with your grief. I do, truly, believe we all do the best we can with our children. I was no ideal mom, and I did not have an ideal mom. We just sort of muddle through, and keep 'hanging in there.' When one has a mood disorder it changes things a great deal. Good for you that you were able to be the best you knew how with your son!
All best wishes,
Shar
