Awesome, Amy! I am impressed as well! I'm very much "girlie" myself and don't know if I could've taken care of business the way you did! Woman, you rock!

You both being scared is perfectly understandable. Neither one of you want to hurt nor disappoint the other again. I think if you're able to discuss any and all issues as they arise the way that you have been, you two have nothing to fear. You've really come together, and that's so wonderful. \:\)

Hoping for nothing but the best to come your way, my dear, and that your son begins to heal so he can take better care of himself. My eldest niece had a drug problem for quite some time but seems to be getting her life back in order. She's been clean for almost a year and is getting M'ed next spring! So yes - there is always hope. \:\)
