I made a new online friend...
Thanks Mark,
And I want to thank you for taking the time to talk with me last week.
It's been a rough week in the sense that my son is not the happiest camper, but I truly felt empowered, especially after talking with you.
I think we've made some headway and I think he's realizing that he's becoming an adult and has a responsibility to me and our household.
Oh and by the way, I made a new online friend later that day on your site. I chatted with a parent of a soon to be 18 year old, her name is Vicki and she's in Arizona. She and I have been chatting since that day and she's helped me out with a few suggestions on how to cope.
For you and her, I'll forever be grateful to have you both in my life during this trying time.
Thanks again and I'll be in touch!
