Maybe it's true.  Maybe T did quit drugs about a week ago or so when he told the lawyer he did.  He told my mother-in-law that he quit doing drugs about a week ago,too.  He was actually normal today and pleasant.  Even though he is still sticking to his guns that he will not do most of what we say until his phone is turned on, it doesn't mean he's using.  The drugs made he realize how far he can push us and because of that....he is doing so.  Also on his instant messaging he told his gf that he wasn't using any more because she's been asking him to quit.  His conversations don't seem to indicate he's doing anything either.  Some of his "friends" still talk of drugs but even that has dwindled.  So we will see.........Also said he was going to school tomorrow but I don't think that that is going to happen.  At this point.....I can see why he won't.  Because of the block scheduling at the school (90 minute classes for 1/2 yr....instead of 45 min. for a full year) it's almost a half a year of missed work.  Maybe he can start out fresh in the next semester..... I know I've been complaining about not having a court date and not too far back I desperately wanted one but now......... now that the paperwork is streaming in, T is doing better, and I am unclear as to whether "our" lawyer is court appointed.... I'm a little anxious.   For each offense each of us my husband, T, and me get our own mailing and in each mailing there are 3 sheets of paper.  I can't get over the stack and still he has some more coming...... YIKES!  Well......the good news is ......the most important part of this story is......he is doing better (at least for now)..........
