So long story short, my oldest son who is now 19 has not spoken to me in 4 years. He had behaviour issues, we tried to get him help, Social Services gave him more money and more freedom than we would... so he chose to keep messing up.He had friend status on facebook, but even then rarely talked with me..... in fact nothing in the past year. Yesterday we talked on the phone!

He says he is tired of being alone, realized he was a "stupid shit" and wants to fix things. I told him is he gets here legitimately, I would help him out, and be a part of his life. He says he wants to finish grade 12, and work on getting a job he can keep. He seems sincere. My hubby says of course we will help him, but is leary as am I. I can not afford to have all my stuff stolen. BUT I am not willing to let the kid go without help. Hubby says if he is smartening up, having family around will be a good thing.

I am scared and excited at the same time. Lets see what his next move is.
