T-Man
That son of mine - he's something else. Didn't come home last night and now it's 1:30 in the afternoon. I still believe he's sober and making the right choices in that area (which is BIG) but he has some obligations he needs to do and also must respect us by letting us know where he is. He promised to do some extra chores (like raking) yesterday but went behind my back again and told my husband he'd do it today - as well as work on his paper that he needs to have completed before he can earn his diploma. All I can say is if these things aren't done - his phone is turned off. 18 going on 13. He ended up coming home after we did the raking. He claimed he came home to do it. He did, however, sit down with my husband to work on his paper. It's the first time T has done this but he knew the only way he could get my husband to buy him cigarettes was to do this paper. They didn't get very far but I guess it's better than nothing. Baby steps.

At least you can feel secure enough for him to venture out!! No way can I do that with M yet. Baby stepsis a good way to look at it. Trying to talk her into trying to get her learners permit and she\'s not ready, so she says. Working on responsibilities around the house too! Teenager angst huh?
I am concerned....about both his behavior and how he treats you! I hope that over the holiday, family concerns can be put aside and there is a sense of peace, love and togetherness....thinking of you and your family. Take Care!
We had a wonderful ride on the way back \"home\". Had an awesome time with family. We went to my brother-in-law & sister-in-law\'s house, enjoyed dinner and played the game Apples to Apples. Lots and lots of laughs! Yes - and peace.
