The good news is...... T did not take the $700 - our second son found his stash and apologized to T AND that I found the missing $100 - the bad news, however, was in T's room. He still denies that one. I can see why he flipped out because of being accused of taking his brother's money. He has to realize because of his behaviors in the past that he has to accept that it's going to take a long time before we can trust him again. Because he was slipping I began to slip as well. I am, however, trying to be more careful and I need to watch myself. He didn't go to AA like he was supposed to.......oh well......he has to do it. He's meeting with his PO tomorrow and will be read the riot act. So, I decided if he doesn't choose to go then --- fine. I am not to going to get on his case. He has to do it himself. I also think 39 days isn't enough and if he continues down this path he will be sent to a 90 day place - which is prison-like...... I hope he doesn't get to that point. The last few days have been better..... (I think)......

So sorry to hear that T\'s using again (from your last entry) - but it\'s good that him flipping out had a reasonable cause and that the last few days have been better. I agree that he has to make choices for himself - that was true for me in changing my life food-wise. But of course remember that there could always be a point where T cannot make the right choices for himself. You\'re in my thoughts, Love and hugs,

I really can\'t imagine why a teen need $700 cash?! Hope he puts it in the bank......Yes, all you can do is prompt, post the places of meetings and as needed be there to drive....He has to want to go......I wonder if it would make a difference if there was an all teen meeting....? Take Care
