…. was excellent, as a family group all is well. nothing unusual to report. My son is funny again. I remember when he was small he had this sense of humor which was hilariously corny but you just had to laugh. He loves going into the wilderness and doing his thing with those close to him, seems to be his niche which pleases me if it pleases him. All I want for him is to have a beautiful life, a life created by him filled with joys and memories he can one day pass along to his family. Being a pretty settled, everyday gal myself, I find anything rough drives me mad….I am a positive person and wants to ensure everyone is on the same track..

There has been some change in character as my son obstains from drinking. I swear some people simply cannot/shouldn’t drink. Tho I haven’t done research on the body and mind change while consuming alcohol, I can tell you, he changes completely. He gets angry, agitated, short tempered and totally changes from sweet boy we all once loved and knew. OK, smoking pot isn’t acceptable by all, but he can maintain his outlook in a positive way if he has a puff, just don’t had the bad stuff – booze.  He has to go to a program on abuse and violence now, ordered by the court. I pray this will allow him to acknowledge his actions and grow into a better person by understanding why things have happened to him… his choices in the past haven’t been good ones.  It took a long time to come to this point, too bad it came with being arrested… but if that is what it takes, well, so be it, just learn from it. 

We live one day at a time. It can be nerve wracking, intense, but I do believe God gave me my son for a damn good reason, I’m just trying to sort all that out………

Incredibly hard to believe that my little bundle grew up with so many issues! What is going on?

Arrest number 2 seems to have opened up the topic of his problems with the family. This in itself is a blessing. I pray he goes to the meetings set up by the Judge and suggested courses he must take to manage his life according to life’s rules.

As a young child, my boy was a typical little fella, laughing, smiling, riding his bike made him happy. Who knew… to this day, it’s all about his bike! Now he rides a BMX. Everywhere!

Ok! So what happened?! You tell me. My son was diagnosed in public school with ADD. He never finished his work, he forgot important due dates and all the rest of it that fails. Today, we’re trying to get him on track. He is trying to help himself, but there seems to be many roads to climb, stumbling blocks along the way are high.

I’ll come back soon and write more on living with a son with depression.
