Y  know I haven't been on this in a week and my story is always the same regarding T-Man.  The upside is I believe he's still clean.  He may not like school but he loves sports and that is...

I'll admit......it's bothering me a bit but I know I have to let it all go.  Got the call from school today......T had bad sore throat......  He complained about it last night and it did sound like...

Sure - the T-Man is doing much, much better but there are times..... I could get more frustrated but I'm learning more and more to let go because it isn't helpful or healthy for me to get upset.  He...

The "bad" could be worse, I suppose.  T is behaving, as expected, like he has some new found freedom - which he does.  His grades have slipped - has 2 F's on the interim report.  It comes at no...

I'm moving forward with my parent program at our middle school here in town.  All the roadblocks I was up against at the high school are non-existent at the middle school.  Now I know that there...

To us, his parents, it's obvious that T is not using, based on his behavior when he walks in the door.  He's conversational, alert, and engaging.  All good.  But then when it comes to following...

Okay -  I'll admit I was going down that path of thinking "Is he using again?".  I wasn't obsessing over it or anything but some of his behavior reminded me of the using days.  The behavior I'm...

Yesterday the attendance woman at the school called.  T had a bad headache.  I figured it was probably due to his messed up schedule with his medication.  So with an hour left at the end of the...

Ever since the preschool school I taught at shut down I haven't had the interest or the energy to seek work elsewhere because having my high maintanance son over these past few years really required...

I suppose we just have to adjust to our new way of life, so to speak.  T didn't come home right away after school yesterday because he walked!  And last night - he called me on my cell to tell me...

Well -  T isn't using but if he keeps up this old familiar behavior.  I am so disappointed in him.  I will just have to take a deep breath and hold it until he turns 18.  Yesterday he was...

OMG -  T was supposed to come home for dinner.  He was a no show and it's almost 9PM.  Hubby and I didn't go over the "contract" before he was released from probation.  I insisted we write one...

I'm going to look at this new found freedom as a positive step into the journey my son will take. Today, at court, the judge released him from probation and from house arrest.  No more probation...

Perhaps I'm over thinking this but I am not sure what to do.  T's psych dr put him on a mood stabilizer that I think is ludicrous.  T's counselor (I talked to him briefly) was making an argument...
