I'm glad this one wasn't on me.  What a sense of relief it was not having to be the one or even a part of it.  My husband found the moment to tell T of the upcoming court date.  There were...

I met with my parish priest today to discuss and see how we can bring the community together regarding the teen drug issue.  Since he's the one who called the meeting I didn't have a lot to offer...

I know there are lots of scenarios that could play out with the court thing.  I just realized, however, that the first hearing is only going to be the arraignment. Nothing would be decided anyway...

Arraignment is March 11th.  I  can't tell T about this, yet.  Right now he's doing "well".  Well, I know he's not using.  Unfortunately, whether he had been using or not - he's going to court...

Disengage, disengage, disengage.  Sometimes I still get confused as to what is parenting and what is controlling behavior.  I don't know why I've struggled with this so much but I think I have more...

I believe T did cross over the line - but now, I know, he's back on track.  His cage was rattled a bit and because of that  - he stopped whatever he was doing.  He didn't stop because he wanted...

T's counselor came to our house today.  He brought a sheet of paper with a list of things T needs to work on or has done that looked like drug behavior.  He also had let T know what I saw on-line -...

Things have settled down.  T came home 45 minutes late from his curfew but he didn't go out until 9pm.  Plus he had his Dad's cell phone so we talked back and forth so I wasn't worried.  He still...

I made an appointment today for T to see a doctor.  He has an ongoing sore throat and complains about not having any energy.  He told my husband he cannot concentrate in school because he feels so...

Same ol', same ol'  - T wanted to come home from school again.  I said no - he tempted to leave school again.  Assistant Principal saw him getting his coat on ready to bolt.  He stopped him and...

Tried to go home "sick" again, drug talk & potential plans to sell, found bong in room, empty urine bottles = using    Dilemma or thought "plan"  - confront T on all the info.  I have.  Tell...

T-Man did it again.  He went to attendance to see if he could be sent home because he wasn't "feeling well".  Sorry buddy - no can do.  I told the attendance woman to put a call into the assist....

My husband and I went to our soccer game Friday night.  We had a lot of fun and it helped that we were winning by a wide margin.  Two minutes before the game ended, however, I found myself between...

Wow - what a difference a day makes!  Went to Al Anon last night, went out for breakfast with a friend this morning, and got a call, while I was out, from our state dept. on alcohol and drug...

Maybe I am depressed.  I can't seem to get motivated to do anything.  I've been exercising - but not enough.  Got a call from school again -they tried my husband but he wasn't available.  T-Man...
