Thank you Peanut, Carri. and Collegefriend... your input if very helpful.
Andrea, Thank you for talking about your friend and yourself. The difference is that you are there in person to support him... I am only letters on a computer and sometimes it just don't mean as much. No matter how much I beg him he still goes off and when he comes back tells me he cut himself...I will stay with it in hopes to try to get him to stop. All I can do is pray that one day he will before he does something wrong to do worse then he is to himself.
