FINALLY FEELING PRETTY GOOD ABOUT T!  Although he didn't go to school today, and took off for a few hours without letting me know.......he's been soooo much better!  He was pleasant today.  He took in the trash cans without me even asking him, he helped me wash the van (yes - it's January in Ohio but 65 degrees), and he not only picked up the cigarette butts he threw all over the ground outside BUT swept the garage!  I am not complaining but I don't get it.  All this time he's been sliding down a slippery slope...getting worse and worse and then.........he's improved ten fold!   I called his lawyer and asked him what we should expect (thinking I should start working on getting him lined up for rehab) but I did tell him that T's drug usage has gone way down.  He asked me how I would know and I told him that I've noticed a marked improvement in his attitude and since I've had access to his instant messaging I see that his conversations aren't all about drugs anymore.  In fact, pot is the only thing he mentions and it seems to have dwindled.  Could it be that he hasn't been feeling all that well and smoking pot made him feel worse?  I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth!  I am just floored by his improved attitude ....especially today!
