My mom is probably taking this whole thing the hardest. She's told me this, more then once through all off this (including today): "I keep thinking, that, if I never gave birth to him, that this would all be better, and we wouldn't have to deal with him, and the world wouldn't have to deal with him". Unfortunately, some people grow up, to be not so good. She didn't raise him to go be a terrorist. She and my father raised him, telling him, what they believe, teaching him right from wrong, just like the rest of us. He grew up, moved away, lived by himself, then made his own decisions.
It's really tough on mothers, and you put it really well. Just be there for your mom, that's all I can say. My mom has a handful with my sister, who has mental issues. It really upsets her that she can only just love my sister and hope for the best, and it bothers me that my mom gets upset like that. But, the best I can do is just be there for her to talk to and to tell her, "Look, it isn't your fault. You've done everything you can and you're continuing to do so. Nobody could ask any more of you and nobody could possibly blame you."
