[quote=6packscaredy]i did try to talk him out of going for a while, or at least to take a few years off. Didn’t work.
i thought it would be cool to get some p/t jobs, spend half the year at joshua tree climbing.
no, hewants to get in the machine. or on the machine. on the good side, the machine will probably embrace him.
and it’s way cheaper than if we had had to spend 50k a year on one of those private reform camps for wayward juvenile delinquents. it’s almosta bargain when you look at it that way.
i must admit i am slightly proud, both that we are sending him there, and that he is functioning.[/quote]
Impressive kid, scaredy. From everything you’ve written here, you’re doing a fantastic job with your children. Good to see that you’re handling the separation well. Not so sure I’ll be able to do as well as you.
