lashaine,
I'm glad you have a good T who is there for you. I'm sorry things are so complicated with your parents. I know what that is like. My mom made some mistakes that cost me a lot in this life. I am trying to do better by my own children so they won't spend their adult life trying to get over their childhood as I have done. You are right in that just pushing pills for a solution is not enough. I will pray that you can make this trip something OK and good for you and your son without too much nonsense from other family members.
Hugs and Hope, Leslie and the Pixies
