Hi Dave,

Thanks for the support. It is really hard to take him into his probation officer and alot easier to let him slide down the slippery slope he's on. I love him enough to try and save him from himself.(if that makes any sence(sp?) Never realised how hard and emotionally draining it was to have a teenager. Now I know how my mom felt. When I first had my boys, I said many times over to my mom that I was so sorry about what I put her through. Granted, I never put her through ANYTHING like my son is doing. But still I'm now understanding what it was like for her. I do hope that counceling will help. He's also in a drug counceling session once a week. It's a group session with other kids that are in the same kind of trouble he is. Don't know if that's a good thing or not because he has met alot of other kids he didn't know before that are not the best influence on him, you know? SIGH Oh well, got to keep plugging away at the child and letting him know how much I love him REGARDLESS. Hopefully we'll be able to look back one day and say "THANK GOD WE MADE IT THROUGH" Ha Ha!! Got to laugh because I can't keep crying over all of this. If I don't laugh, I'll see those men in the white coats coming for me soon. HA HA!!

Thanks again.
Love,
Wendy
