Forgot to say that he has been at the Ranch since August 26th 2005, and he has indiv., group and NA therapy. He has opened up a lot in NA therapy but not in the others much. History on him, gambling, hurting me emotionally and physically, drugs, getting the diabetes, his grandfather (my father passing away), his own Father moved my son out of his house completely, because his Russian mother-in-law was moving into their house and took over my son's room. I know this hurt Greg, but he would never admit it to me, but he did admit it to the people at the wilderness program. He will turn 18 tomorrow, and will stay (Greg decided this on his own), until he graduates from High School. I will be there for him at graduation. He will come here (home for me, Anchorage, AK) for a few days then Drive to OR, stay for the summer with relatives and get a job, and his decision to go to community college in the fall in Bend, OR. He is a good kid, but got hooked up with the wrong crowd, druggies, and he had dropped out of HS on his own here, and hardly ever went to classes anyway, I couldn't get him to go, or do anything, he was always gone from the house, and his Father, my ex since 1992, wouldn't help me out at all. My son unfortunatly is like his Father, doesn't respect women, has a bad temper, etc...... He is doing a lot better, but I wish he would open up more in therapy, but nobody can force him to do that and I know this. It is up to him. He still has lots to work on.
Thanks
Leslie
