[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 533708, member: 14356"] Thank you Susie, Buddy and Janet. I am going to work with husband and refine our plan. And I'm going to pick up that book tomorrow as well - heck, maybe I'll go in today and pick it up. I say that because difficult child is coming home tonight. He doesn't have much choice but it's a place to start. I'm feeling very bad for him because his life is crumbling around his ears - as we knew it would sooner or later. His girlfriend left for the weekend and went to her mother's boyfriends to be away from him, he figures she is going to break up with him and she is his first love, he's been kicked out of their place, friends that were supposed to help him out have bailed on him, he is failing science, may get kicked out of the arts program at school, and is just having a hard time all the way around. I saw this coming but I'm kind of worried about him based on some FB posts. I think he is pretty depressed right now. I'm going to see if I can at least get him to take some St. John's Wort and see if that helps him feel better. It may just be situational but teenagers and depression are a bad combination. It's hard for them to see straight when they feel like their lives are falling apart - and his has been. He did sound a bit better this morning when I spoke to him on the phone. He seemed like his spirits had lifted a bit when he had decided that he wanted to come home. We discussed what things would be like and he seemed ok with it. That said, I no longer have the illusion that this is going to be easy from here on out. I am sure that we're a long way off from peace and harmony but he is far better off with us for at least the next couple of years until he is 18 and a little more mature. Wish us luck!! We're gonna need it! [/QUOTE]
