Thank you, Sara, for your advice.

I too have thought that doing the GED and moving on to other things might help, but I don't see that getting him away from his friends because they are all near us. So, the only way to do that is move away, which I am not against doing, but I signed a year-long lease here, so I can't really do that, or at least not easily. But, I am not ruling out anything.

Besides, it's true that until S can get his mind around the idea that he has a problem, he is likely to just meet up with more of the same type of people wherever we would go.

There is a new local "youth at risk" residential program (sorta like 6 months of military school) that is very intriging, but the next class doesn't start until July........I'm not ruling this one out either.

Take care.
