Things have settled down and running smoothly here at home.  T has been calling us, periodically, to let us know where he is.  In school we are told that he's engaged in class.  We haven't seen...

Met with T's support team - his counselor, his case worker, and his probation officer yesterday day and it went well.  There were some things that happened and needed to be addressed.  Now I...

Not sure about anything anymore.  Judging by T's behavior - I reacted to it, I thought, in normal, legitimate, and reasonable way.  Perhaps, even though I have $120 missing from the Suicide...

T-man didn't get up to go to school today.  Well, eventually, he did - close to noon.  I tried and tried but then thought.......that's enough.  I am not going to get all worked up about it....it's...

Okay - what the f?  I hate swearing.  And I don't.  Even writing "f" is very brazen of me.  I really hate foul language  It's always bothered me - even our former soccer goalie was aware that I...

Things do change.........from one day to the next.  Today J got up at 7AM and reffed soccer all day until 7PM.  Perhaps he's not doing the drugs I thought.  Maybe (not that I am minimizing his...

I need to focus on all the positive things going on in our lives here at home because the negatives are starting to (or seem to outweigh the positive events).  First the negativeL:  I had taken J's...

Good news first:  Enjoyed our vacation up in "God's Country".  It was so beautiful and relaxing.  We stayed at my husband's brother's summer place on a beautiful scenic lake, and not only did...

Last Friday, when my husband and I were at the art gallery reception (where I teach), the president of the board approached us.  I actually was talking to someone else, as I stood by my husband,...

One day at a time.......one of the motto's of AA -- so true.  Now today and last night T was "normal" - even came home early - before curfew.  Maybe the death of his friend made he reevaluate his...

Well......guess T isn't doing as well as we had hoped or thought.  The past two drug screens were dilute.  One screening didn't even show any urine....only water.  Guess my baby has been...

Things are running very smoothly with T.  Naturally, I am suspicious at times - so I check his cell phone transactions and saw that he had made calls to his major drug using friend.  He made the...

Adjusting to this new "norm".  This new "norm" is a great thing!  We have our baby back!  He's been so open, happy, interactive, responsible, and fun to be around.  I am grateful for every...
