He's slipping back into the not coming home mode.  Because the curfew is 1AM, he chooses not to come home because he knows he'll be locked out.  I did text him last night, however, and he did say...

Lately - T has been MUCH better.  He's coming home before curfew, he's been calling to let us know where or when he's coming home AND he's been playing a lot of soccer, basketball, and bike riding....

Husband admitted he's not quite ready.  T-Man seems to have settled down and is pretty much following the rules. Although I know he's smoking pot and drinking, based on his FB, we have not seen him...

Every other night T has been walking in the before 1.  Although I had it in writing and talked to him - I'm not sure if it's purposeful selective hearing or I wasn't clear enough. He says he heard...

I think I might have gone overboard.  Maybe I was too harsh?  I have no idea.  I know I wasn't raising my voice but he was.  I wish I would have reminded him that we love him but can't sit back...

I told T he can't live here anymore.  I told him that I can't stand how he treats us and does as he pleases.  I am not feeling well - which may have added to my mood.  He said he'd leave.  I told...

I guess I have a lonnnngggg rope because I've been at this for quite some time now and I'm getting to the end of it. T didn't come home two nights ago - was gone all day yesterday and then showed up...

Okay - I am glad I wrote the letter.  I know somewhere deep inside my son knows I love him even though he isn't or can't return or show it right now.  I know it's because he's struggling with his...

This isn't about me.  It's about calling attention to the message I've been working on diligently.  On the other hand - it is kinda cool to receive this award.   A woman (whose children I taught...

Dear T,First I need to express to you how much your dad and I love you. Because we love you so much we are very concerned and worried about you.  We know that you are struggling and have fallen...

Okay - now that my husband are closer to being on the same page than we ever have been - now the real test for both of us --- can we follow through on this?  We know how stubborn our son is - we...

I found evidence and will hold onto if I need it at some point.  He had a pot pipe "hiding" under his bed. He's either becoming sloppy or arrogant.  And I cannot believe he doesn't have any remorse...

Penpal -  The comment you made about our counselor taking a "measured approach" is a good way to describe it.  I was trying to be positive and patient about how the counselor wanted us to handle...

In one way I feel a sense of relief - in another I feel uncomfortable after meeting with the counselor.  He knows that my husband and I are not quite on the same page, but did comment that we've...

Well, we have our counseling session today.  Now it will be time to put things into action.  I know what we have to do already but my husband needs to hear it from a professional.  Not sure he'll...
