In my last entry I talked about "it" being "still there".  By "it" I meant the addiction and alcoholism problems my sons still carry.  I don't want to pretend they aren't anymore issues because...

Although things are better than they used to be --- I wish we could do more as parents to address the issues with our boys. It's strange but our middle one seems to be doing better than he ever has...

Last night my husband and I presented our program called "NOT MY CHILD" and I'm happy to say that it couldn't have turned out any better.  We received many compliments and coming from the...

I met with our community juvenile detective and drug task force guy today to talk about their roles in the presentation my husband and I created.  What a difference meeting under these circumstances...

Not sure what is happening here but I will take it!  T is doing well.  In my heart I KNOW that school has been the major stress factor for him that has put him over the edge. Right now he's only...

In my last journal I wrote that I didn't handle a situation very well with T.  Sometimes I forget that he's still using and that this "over reaction" by him is , not how I respond to a situation...

I had to pick T up early from school because he had a sinus headache.  I don't know how this transpired but next thing I know he's complaining and yelling at me.  He did the same thing yesterday...

My imagination certainly can run away from me but I don't let it get too far because I know where that can lead.  When I don't hear from T for hours on end - it's understandable.  Anyway - I...

Tomorrow I meet with our county's drug task force "agent in charge" to talk about his role in the program.  I think he might know about T.  Aside from that - even though this guy has quite a sense...

T told me that he has a court date so I don't have to dwell on the idea of him being picked up here on a warrant.  If he would have decided to skip the court date ~ a warrant would have been issued...

I was doing pretty well.  I feel depressed and I'm mad at myself for allowing this.  I am mad at myself for second guessing a decision I made because now I'm not sure if I want to follow through...

One day at a time.  I'm really getting better at now at not projecting or trying to guess what will happen next.  I'm also so much aware of the eerie "coincidences" that keep happening in my life....

Yesterday we received an envelope in the mail addressed to our son T.  It said for it to only be opened by the addressee that included a return address from what looked like a law firm.  What? I...

Two new baseball hats - no clothes - and out very late two nights with no cell call returns. I called it.  Yesterday when I talked to my husband on the phone he asked me for an update on T.  I told...

Thought T was doing "better" or, at least, he was acting better.  He started school this week and made it through.  Because he's still using he has his moments and didn't come home until very early...
