[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 700320, member: 18958"] Hi Lil. I've been away for awhile and caught up on your thread all at once. Actually, I see a lot of growth in your son (and you, too.) To me, the fact that he is seeing these losers, J and A, too, as different from him and needing to be avoided, is a major change.He is scapegoating J here and I do not buy it. While it did cross my mind (what others suggested, that there was more to the story), in particular some shady deal or the like--with this being the worst case that I can think of, that your son is wanting to be away from these low lives is very good news. The move to me has very little down side. He knows how to find work quickly. He works hard. He can handle himself. His judgment is improving. He knows where to go to get help and support. I can really see the maturation in him. I think he wants to grow up. I really think this. I know how hard it is when they leave. You know, Colorado may be expensive, etc. But is it not right next store to where all of the shale oil fields are (is North Dakota near Colorado?) I know we cannot live their lives for them but if I were a young man (or even woman) I would go. The fact that he is going to meet his destiny is exciting. I believe he will thrive. For sure he will call and be frantic, but he will also be seeking himself and his real life. I am pleased for him. And for you two, too. [/QUOTE]
