    Great start. My gfg did 2 weeks in February. For the most part he has been doing well. Six months of probation has helped as well.

    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!
