[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 50576, member: 1835"] Next step...a good question. I guess we all feel that we'd like some down time (but not too much...) to reconnect as a family and maybe take a short vacation together first. As well as having a diploma when he comes home, he'll also have his driver's license as his program coordinator okay-ed driving school where he is. (Thank God, because I was dreading having to take him out as we're both anxious types in the car). So, he'll have the tools he needs to continue in a forward direction. Initially, he thinks he'd like to work for his dad a few days a week while he decides what he wants to do in terms of getting full-time work or attending trade school. We'd prefer he attend at least our community college so as to keep more doors open. However, although he's a bright kid, he's no scholar, and that probably isn't going to happen. I guess we'll play it one day at a time and see how things go. Hopefully, as we have more sessions with his therapist, things will become clearer. I understand that is supposed to be the point of the family therapy. [/QUOTE]
