[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 653074, member: 17461"] I think it is best to keep ourselves focused on the highest goal until that dream is shown to be impossible. Education matters. Especially since he is marginally more serious, I would say that he is still in school and doing slightly better is a win. Who knows what tomorrow may bring, but when it comes, he will have a successful semester under his belt. And that is how we get them there, right? One semester at a time, one day at a time, one treatment at a time, whatever it takes to get them through it. If he isn't going to work the program, you will probably try something else, maybe more than once. But there will come a time when you will be done pushing him to latch on to his own best future. I found Echo's advice from last September well worth considering. He is better off where he is. Shoot for the stars. If he makes it, oh that will be sterling. If he doesn't, you will know you have done every single thing you knew to help him. If the kids continue along that wrong path, knowing we have done all we knew to help them is something we need to know. Cedar [/QUOTE]
