My soccer team mate and friend gave me a name of someone down in juvenile court that I've been calling every now and then for advice.  His name is Larry and he's been so awesome!  I guess he's a...

T is sleeping.  He didn't come home until 12:30 last night!  And guess what?  He didn't go to school either.  And here it's almost noon.  I don't have the energy to lay into him and get him...

Haven't been on in awhile because of a number of reasons - One - T didn't come home Wednesday night until 6 AM - I'm guessing - too down to talk about it.  He wasn't home when my husband left for...

I had meeting at the Board of Education this morning to try and push for a teacher in-service to educate teachers and staff about mental health and how to address it.  The committee that was at the...

Great -  I wonder how much I can take.  That little piss pot is making me crazy.  I've been more than patient with him and now I just can't take it.Like I predicted -- he didn't come directly home...

The evening is still young but I didn't mention that a few hours after I dropped T off at school, I received a phone call.  It was from our friend, Dave.  Dave called to say that T showed up at his...

This morning we heard T's alarm go off.  He set his phone alarm.  We had to go in and make sure he was up.  He got up!  He then asked my husband to buy him a pack of cigarettes.  Instead of...

Just a quick note.  T seemed much better today.  He went to bed early, too.  Said he's going to school.  He was actually very normal........  ????  Not that I will EVER get used to or care to...

Good news......!  T-Man was pleasant today!  He said he's going to school tomorrow AND will meet with the lawyer!  I will believe it when I see it .....but at least he's showing some interest and...

Confused about what to do about T's nose.  I was afraid of an infection brewing.  Talked to the lawyer we are going to have to hire.  I was thinking of drastic measures by having T forcably...

T -Man was truant again.  He came home at 12:30 AM last night.  Broke house curfew.  I believe he was still up past 2:30 AM.  I think he was smoking in the basement again.  I told him if he...

T-Man was truant --- again.  I went down to juvenile court to find out if anything is happeinging.  Nothing yet.  It's in the process.  The woman down there at the intake is just so nice. ...

My new sleeping spot for the first half of the night is on the couch, hoping to wake up when T-Man came home.  I did wake up at 2:30AM and he still wasn't home.  I had to call the police to report...

The lawyer's words are still stinging in my ears.  He said he can't help us if my son isn't cooperating.  He said his services would be a waste of our money.  All along I've been focusing on the...

I know I can't give up on my son but I'm getting to the point -- I'm just so beaten down right now.  I know the situation with the addiction is not our fault - however.....I think we laid the ground...
