It certainly is One Day At a Time.......  As strange as this sounds I really do not think T is using.  He went to his first class and on time.  When I dropped him off at school he was jovial.  In...

My dream is to see our son thrive and he can't do it in this environment.  My husband, again, thinks that T can pull it off here.  I don't see it but I do know where he's coming from.  He doesn't...

Yesterday went from bad to worse - after I received a call from T's old, "new" guidance counselor (he's back from sick leave).  I had put in a call to the other guy on Friday asking him how I would...

I don't know what the hell I want to happen.  The treatment center called to set up an appointment for T to go with us for an assessment and when I approached him on it -- he went into a rage -...

As much as I don't want T-Man to go....there are times I cannot wait until he's being taken care of elsewhere.  I still keep going back to the idea of sending him to a place my husband and I...

Patience is a virtue.  Between reminding myself of that and rehearsing the Serenity Prayer over and over again these last few days have made the situation with my baby boy easier to deal with. ...

Tomorrow we have T's IEP meeting to try and figure out if this is going to work.  My thought (actually his counselor suggested it) that T drop two classes, instead of one,  and try to salvage the...

He has to be using -even though testing doesn't show it.  He didn't go to school again beecause he had a fever over the weekend and felt lousy today.  His eyes looked glassy when he woke up.  His...

Just received T's interim report from school and although I knew what was going to be on there - it was difficult to see it in writing.  He's failing EVERY class.  For awhile there I was e-mailing...

Can't get T up for school.  He says he's too tired.  Can't sleep at night.  I really don't think he's using.  He is giving up.  This was the test for T by the assistant principal - if he goes a...

Didn't have a good day yesteday - between T not going to school, to him throwing a fit because I wouldn't buy him cigarettes (based on his behavior) to having the Asst. Principal call me to tell me...

Wish I would have done this awhile ago.  Finally - I made an appt. for T to see a counselor.  The one we have come to our house isn't what we are looking for.  He is still good to have - for...

The weather was great for the Walk.  After the Walk there was an awards ceremony.  The top 3 schools received a trophy.  "Our" school placed first for fund raising efforts.  Unfortunately, not...

What a difference a day makes!   I can't believe it ....... T-Man seems to be doing well.  I looked at his Instant Messaging and he was just talking about normal stuff and about being bored.  He...

Yesterday I let this whole situation get the best of me.  I was so down that even when my husband came home he noticed it.  I just couldn't help it.  In fact, the health teacher at my son's high...
