Your attitude and thus, aptitude are shining today! You know exactly what you want for your M AND you are working on getting there. You are being supportive of B, mindful of your actions and interactions, all the while being patient as a saint. BRAVO, Ms. Cribbs! What you have accomplished is detachment, while maintaining your sense of self, family and love for B. This is a very hard place to get to. Many on this board get one, maybe two out of the three. You ROCK!
I only have one thing to add, and this is for B, from you. As he progresses and you are confidant his intentions are sincere... Thank him for his efforts. Make sure he knows you believe in him and will support him with his efforts. You will be able to pick up on his highs and lows. Be supportive but strong. Stand firm and confidant, let him know he can conquer anything if he chooses. Be to him, what we are to you.
Keep us posted, many here are following your threads and find inspiration from your strength. I haven't said this for awhile... Patience, patience, patience.

I appreciate your invite to myspace IM, but I have old computer issues. For example, your myspace page takes at least 3 mins. to fully load. I guess my PC is like me, getting older and slower!
