costello... I have been following, but did not know how to respond...You are in my prayers with all that you and your son are going through...It is encouraging to hear however that he is at least talking to you about his failure, instead of withdrawing from you.

It's hard as a parent not to want to lecture about all the things that we know can go wrong or could go wrong that we have learned from our own lifes that we think our cildren should take heed to.

I give you alot of credit for being there for him.

I do not believe in bailing out my children in any way when it comes to the bad choices that they make. But I am always here for them to listen to them and encourage them to make better choices the next time.

I don't know.... I just wanted you to know that you are in my prayers.

I am here
