[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 661888, member: 17720"] When I think of the progress he has made over the past year, I am so amazed and so thrilled for him! Am I remembering the sequence of events correctly? Didn't your son's wonderful and positive changes basically start around the time girlfriend stabbed him in the arm? When my kids were younger, my husband and I hypothesized that if they could find something they really loved that couldn't be done high, it would help them stay away from drugs. It was easy for my daughter, but my son never really found anything that gave him that joy and purpose. As odd as it sounds, I have wondered if having a relationship with the girlfriend didn't give your son that sense of purpose, something he cared enough about keeping to make him want to find his way out of the forest. It sure sounds hard to watch from the sidelines for you, COM. You sure do it gracefully, though! Thanks for the update, and for being such an inspiration for all of us. [/QUOTE]
