Chris Peters this makes sense. I've always said my son has come so far, but he still has a long way to go. starting treatments as early as possible, I believe, makes a huge difference too.

Chris Peters Tish- that is my big fear too. Joey is almost 15 and has alot of anger issues too. we can't drink till 21 in NJ, but still, I worry about how he will just manage day to day living when he has such a short fuse and is big and can be violent.
ReplyDeleteMelissa Cove Voto Awww.. I have a Joey too!! He's 10 going into the 5th grade, and just recently become very physical with me. He's on the small side, as well as I am,but he doesn't even know his own stregnth.
