It's a minute past midnight and I am very exhausted.  I must note, however, that today T did finishe the day out at school.  He actually came directly home from school for a change!  It didn't last long, however, before he was off to where ever he goes.  After T left, J came from the basement with a handful of medicine prescription bottles, 5 in all.  They don't belong to anyone in our family.  In fact, we don't know where he got them from.  Well....there are names on them ...but where did he get them?  And why does he have them?  Brought them up to Kevin, the detective.  He had to break some more bad news to me....T MAY have broken into two more homes!  He doesn't have any proof but he told me that the other detective (not juvenile) will be calling me to give me a description of the items.  Kevin said he isn't trying to stock pile T's charges (like T isn't responsible for them) but when he meant was...He isn't out to get T.  He just wants to help T.  T actually came home at 9AM.  We never know what is up his sleeve.

How scary is this - VERY! T may end up in jail before he has a chance for a therapeutic boarding school? Here\'s a thought about these schools - references and positive experiences should be viewed with caution. First, what does the situation look for the \"success story\" like five years out (rather than 1 year later). Also, can you separate the therapeutic intervention/outcome from the individual. For example, a person may be in the right place (setting) at the right time (personally motivated for change in their lives) with a therapist that \"clicks\". As we all know, the latter is SOOO important! In the meantime, remember to make time for YOU.
