I've been told over the years, by some people, that I tend to take a Polly Anna approach to life.  It's true.  Things can be so bad...yet...when I see a glimmer of hope...my outlook about a...

T just left with his friend, he had here all afternoon.  The weekend is here.  I hope and pray he will stay the course.  So far so good....saw on this IM that he's telling friends he's finished...

Still doing well here!  T is home, not in school - yet.  He's been home since Tuesday night, the school notified me that they know T is home.  They said they would call to let us know once they...

What a difference a day makes!  T has a new outlook on life and truly wants to try and get better. This is the first time he has expressed this.  He actually is going to an AA meeting tonight with...

Our son is out of rehab.  He ran away just before my husband and I got there for family therapy night.  He returned about 15 minutes later wanting to leave this f-ing place.  He was swearing and...

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...

Well today is the day.  Fortunately we don't have to be there until 2:30pm and it gives him some time to sleep in.  I don't want him to sleep too long, however, because he may have a difficult time...

T went to school - I guess to say good-bye to his friends for awhile.  I know it's hard for him - yet he has no idea how hard it is for us.  On the surface he seems better than he's been in a long,...

We had to go to the facility today for insurance purposes.  We met with the counselor and then the counselor called our insurance company.  So far we are approved for 3 days.  That's how this...

Well, found out that we cannot get financial help for the non-covered days.  Now that our son will be in rehab I can focus on returning to work....wherever that is going to be.   The good news is...

T came home really late again but this time, I didn't wake up when he got home.  I know it was well past curfew because I was still up.  Two nights in a row, I didn't bother calling the police. ...

Well T came home at 4:30AM.  I went downstairs because I heard him come in and asked why he was out so late (dumb question, I know) and he said since he has to enter rehab in 6 days....why not?  He...

Met with the principal and guidance counselor today to come up with what our son will be doing while he's in the program.  He leaves a week from today.  Lately, he hasn't seemed "as bad".  Guess...

Why does this whole process have to be so hard?  Obviously, we have the drug problem....health, safety, worry, law and school problems, and now financial.   Learned earlier that insurance might...

It's going to be a long, long one and a half weeks.  T-Man got two suspensions back to back.  This is insane.  He's never has had a detention before this year for his behavior.  Now he's so out...
