Yeah.....I am finally feeling better.  That sinus headache cold was not fun.  Glad it's over for me but....unfortunately.....T-Man REALLY feels bad.  Between the smoking, the drugs, and lack of sleep....it's no wonder he is sick.  He's been beating his body over and over again. I know he has the same thing I had.....only magnified, probably 10 fold.  And he's already missed enough school so I am hoping to be able to get him to the doctor tomorrow.   I made an appt. for him on Friday because he didn't go to school but he refused to go saying he was fine.  Later that night, at the football game, I spoke with our family doctor telling him our situation with T-Man and he insisted I bring him in.  I certainly hope T-Man will cooperate......otherwise I don't know what the heck we are going to do. Oh.....then on Friday I received a call from the detective.  He thinks my son was involved in a few break-ins around our neighborhood this past week!!!!!  He asked me if it would be okay if he could come and search our house.  I told him no but said I would look for the items he described.  I want to be cooperative but that I couldn't agree to him rummaging through our house....too uncomfortable and invasive to me.  Then later that day, at the football game, one of our friends, who lives nearby us, came up to my husband and I  and told us that his house was broken into.  He warned us to be careful and make sure we lock up our home.  My husband told him about the call we got from the detective and our friend then asked us to meet him for coffee the next day. He told us that he also suspects our son.  He's known our son for years and knew him before this crap started.  His son was good friends with our son.  It's a sad situation and embarrassing and exhausting.  We feel so badly....especially for his son who feels so violated.  If my son did it....and I wouldn't be surprised if he did...., I am so sad for his friend... What stinks....if we could have gotten a court date much earlier (still don't have one) my son wouldn't be "as addicted", sick, or in trouble AGAIN.  This whole thing sucks.....  Here my son is sick.  "They" call addiction an illness ....so my son is ill....and yet I cannot ....as a parent...against his will ...put him into a facility to help him get better.  Makes sense to me!  Oh......I just remembered.....I have to make sure the school gets the ol' permission slip to see an "R" rated movie that has a few swear words.  Our system is really screwed up........
