Oldest son reaching out

[Jaydaan]

Oh I have no illusions this will be an easy fix. I expect slip ups, I expect some failures.... but I am hoping it will be all little things that we can deal with one thing at a time. Instead of like before when the snowball kept getting bigger and bigger. We are hoping that because he *has* hit rock bottom, he will never want to be there again. That and knowing we kicked him out before, and can do so again might help too. It will devastate me, but... I can do it.

We are hoping to get him the help he needs to get a place near us, introduce him to some people who will be there for him and won't get him into trouble and get his self esteem up to the point where he likes himself. This week we are simply getting used to the house rules (we all sat down and discussed what they were, and how to go about them) Tomorrow we will go about getting his application for health care (second piece of ID) an appointment for Social services (help pay for room and board (maybe) and then we will go from there.
