He made it there.  Shed some tears......missing his girlfriend already.  He even tried to get us to tell the facility that he has a younger sister.  Only family can communicate in any form.  I told him we already filled out the forms listing siblings and I didn't list any sisters...let alone a younger sister.  I told the counselor what he said and how down he is about being separated from her and the counselor said that we can be in contact with her and pass on some messages....verbally (I believe).  He had had a good week this week -- was respectful and pleasant.  Then the last two days we noticed a difference (especially last night).  His friend's mom told me that T decided he wasn't going to use this week but then change his mind....it was obvious.  In a way, I know this sounds strange, but I am glad that he used and was back to his new old self because this move made it easier to deal with.  Poor guy.........Tomorrow we go back to the rehab center for parenting classes and later in the day we get to visit with him.  I wonder what kind of reception we are going to get?  Yikes......

I hope you can rest, catch up on some meaningful sleep! I am glad to know that he went willingly -- whew!! I hope you and your husband find the parenting classes meaningful -- and that the treatment touches T in a way that matters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
