Things are pretty calm around here.  The best ever since about 6 years ago.  Between our middle son's depression, our youngest son's drama with drugs, the discovery of middle son's usage etc -...

Saw in the paper today that a unnamed  19 year old from our small town was arrested in a town next to us for drug trafficking, possession of coke, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of...

Today was the day T-Man had to appear in court.  His friends were there too so he didn't want us to go.  I wanted to go more out of curiosity but it was better that he did this on his own.  With...

Okay - maybe I was the instigator and maybe I wasn't.  I'm not sure.  All I know is that T wanted to use my computer laptop to tune his guitar and I told him no.  The last few times I've let him...

I cannot believe that I've been on this site for 4 years now!  I found out about this on-line group from a support group for parents of children with ADD I attended in our area.  T-Man had been...

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...
