[QUOTE="jetsam, post: 700737, member: 20689"] hi maisy, Yes know that feeling wishing you could figure it out! but the reality is that even if you did figure it out and and had all the answers and gave him those answers...HE would have to be the one acting on it. Without him wanting to get better there is just nothing we can do or say to MAKE them. believe me i spent years trying to direct, beg...whatever i thought would work to make my son get on the right track...alas to no avail.
