Kath I really do know how you feel as my Son was using drugs married a girl that was pregnant. Said he needed a car instead of the truck I'd lent him the downpayment for. He took the car with the girl joined the Army after getting his Ged and disappeared to Ranger School, then Fort Bragg 82nd Airborne. Parachuted into Pananma. We got back together and now his wife was pregnant with his Son. Sent to Iraq. I cried nightly for months knowing how reckless he was. Long story short he lost his eyesight l day after the War with the French Foreign Legion. Blasting cap defective from Russia. Well the Army sent him to college he graduated in social work summa cum laude. And he has all these thing aids provided by the government so he can work and kindda see. But he is legally blind and will never drive. And had 8 operations. 4 corneal transplants. Has no lenses, no iriises and detached retina left eye so that is completely blind. But you know what he grew up and is one of the nicest people I've ever met he would give you the shirt off his Back. Moral is that if this didn't happen he might be an addict today. Instead he's the Father of two teenagers. So it could be a good thing. But get a sleeping pill. Love Phillipa ps I got your E-mail
