[QUOTE="ck1, post: 113253, member: 3767"] David: I'm so sorry to hear about your job loss...that's awful, but I'm sure you'll get through it, as you have so far. Happy to hear your son is doing ok. About his letters, if you think, even a little, that he may be manipulating, he probably is. The key is that you don't allow it or fall for it. Teens will always try, it's our job as parents not to fall for it. Also, good for you for getting help for yourself! I agree with everyone else.
