Enjoy! I'll keep my fingers crossed that he "gets it" and understands you can't enjoy your Mom, your dog and your favorite cookies at home and then act like a member of the Hood away from home. Truly sending caring and supportive thoughts and prayers your way. DDD
DH & I have raised our 25 yr.old grandson. At 14 he turned to pot & booze to cope with problems. He's a GFG#1. In 2005 he fell off a balcony, had brain surgery and has TBI effects. His recovery is very stressful. Time will tell if he ends up GFG or PC. Our GFG#2 is 21 and now lives with his GFGmom. He's ADHD, AS, BP plus. DH and I have 6 children and 11 grands. Yikes!
