Subject: Cautiously optimistic


Chris is doing MUCH better today, he's responding rather than being obtuse and rebellious. the folks at the psych ward are making a difference, and have been very open to suggestions I've made about our family history of alcohol abuse and depression, as well as some skills that Chris already exhibits in the way of career counseling.

But, I can't make this another "mommy found this for me", it has to be something that comes from within, you know? It's a really long tunnel, but I think there's a light at the end of it. No, I don't think it's a train.

Chris had also scammed an undisclosed amount of my anti-anxiety drug, Clonazepam, while drinking and slicing, which explains alot about his attitude yesterday. I kept wondering in bewilderment where my charming rational Boy Unit had disappeared to. I saw him at lunch today, and there was even a slight show of his sense of humor. He was the one that made the suggestion that I put the class 3 prescriptions under lock and key. I have a feeling that he doesn't ever want to go through this again.

Something I can heartily recommend.
