Thanks Suz, I do think that the Independant living services will be offered after a while. Right now everyone seems to agree that difficult child needs supervision and care. (Gosh I really want this to work! I get butterflies in my stomach when i think about this)
My difficult child learns the hard way when he does learn. I am sooooo hoping that his prison stint was suficently "hard" to have made a lasting impression. I recently heard that there is a mental health law/program here that might apply to difficult child and if he stays clean and out of trouble and medication and therapy compliant he could be considered elegible to have his felony expunged. I haven't told him about this as I need to investigate it further. Then if it is true I will have another carrot to dangle. -RM
