It can also be good for you because you won't have to try and remember all his symptoms because it will all be on "paper and pencil."

Also, you have to set rules of what is and isn't proper behavior. Believe it or not I am 21 and still get lectures and punished from my parents and boyfriend. They know without structure I fall apart.
thanks for responding...i have been encouraging him to journal...we will see how that goes...he has such an awesome soul..wish i had the answers for him..take care..
