T-Man home again - truant.  I am getting so sick of this crap.  No help in sight.  I've been told to be patient and I was..... but I ain't no more.  There was a long explanation by the detective...

Okay - How much more can we take here?  Yesterday T-Man had the school call me an hour after he was there telling me he wasn't feeling well.  I was told he said he threw up.  I drove up there to...

Now I know why we've been waiting for the court date.  Mind you - we've been told all along that the court date could take up to four months - so I've been trying to be patient.  During this time...

Well -  T-Man is home from school - again.  I've tried to get him up but he says he's too exhausted to go to school.  I didn't call the school yet.  They will eventually call me and I really...

It's past 3 AM and T isn't home.  I am exhausted but I can't sleep.  It seemed like he was having a good day, too.  He hung around our house for a good part of the day ...coming back every now...

T stayed home from school claiming he didn't feel well.  I'm sure he didn't but when I left and came back....he was gone.  At least he left a note....(how kind of him) saying that he had a...

It didn't work out.  No matter how hard I try - to help my son....he tries harder not to work with me.  I was pressing for drug court all along in the system and finally got the opportunity to sit...

Well......the saga continues...... My husband - my dear husband--- thought it was a good idea to turn our son's cell back on.  My son refused to do anything we asked - even homework- unless we turn...

This journaling (if there is such a word) is helping to keep my head above water.  Actually, considering all that been going on lately......I am not feeling as helpless and depressed as I had been...

Wow -  Is this my life?  Do I really have a kid who came home with a black eye, possibly a re-broken nose, bruises, cuts, and a chipped tooth telling us he "fell off his bike?"  Yes - it's our...

Boy - do we live in a small town.  My husband and I were invited to join a couple and their group to a local fund-raising clam bake for a local art facility.  This art "galary" has so unique with...

Yesterday I returned an i-Home to the police.  It was one of the stolen items T-Man took from one of his friends' homes.  I really like, Kevin, the detective.  He's been great!  He said he's...

What a difference a day makes!  I know the roller coaster ride of life with teens on or off drugs is scary sometimes but I like it when we're heading up the hill!  T-Man was up before us and...

T-Man's problems keep piling up and, of course, he's not as bothered by them as much we are.  Maybe I should start taking some drugs to numb the pain.  Sorry --bad joke.  Well  -- looks like...

Went to the police station to pick up our son's shoes (and to drop off Suicide Prevention material --poster-- why not have the police dept. included --right?). When I was waiting the detective came...
