[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 12820, member: 1953"] Hi Usually when I came here with problems in dealing with Alex I wanted to share some positive things about my son things that I never shared here before. He had a great big heart and was very compassionate. He was very funny, I used to have teachers call me ( every year since kindergarten, except his last year at alternative) To tell me something about his behavior, but they always told me how nice he was and funny he was and he made the teachers laugh too. He was extremely passionate about the things he believed in. He would stand behind it no matter what the consequence.( I used to think that would serve him well as an adult) My nephew said in a blog "he could talk himself into or out of anything. He was extremely bright. One of the social workers guessed his IQ was somewhere around 140. One of his favorite things to do was exploring abandonded buildings. We have lots of them in the city of Detroit. He would go with a group of "urban explorers" they were all adults. They never destroyed buildings but would take photos. Alex has some of the most incredible photos of his explorations. I never approved of him going, but he went anyways. We have an abandoned mental health facility near our house he went to. Again, against my wishes. He knew it like the back of his hand. All of the underground tunnels and all of the buildings.On the last day of his life, he was filmed by our local news about the dangers of going in this building. He called me while we were out to dinner and told me that he was going to be interviewed on fox2 news. I told him that wasn't smart as he will be admitting to tresspassing on the news. He said he was going to be disguised. He was so excited, probably one of his happiest moments. here is the footage of that interview. Filmed about 4-5 hours before he died. [media=youtube]aFTKYLQdGi0[/media] I found his my space about 2 weeks before he died. If you have a my space account, you can log in and read all of the comments left from friends after he died. Well I now know that drugs played a big part in the problems we were having with him. Drugs like heroin kills a persons spirit. I am so glad for any of the kids out there getting it together. I feel for any of you parents going through this. Dealing with the mouth, the stealing, the bad friends, the worry the uncertainty, and all the other crappy issues that come about due to drug use is just too much for a parent to take. If I can communicate with any of your kids in any way to help them decide to quit, I would be honored. Just e-mail me if you think they may want to talk to me or if I can help you in any way. If you are still here, thanks so much for letting me share this with you. Lia [/QUOTE]
