Thanks Tia. It is VERY hard - but as we all know our children are on their
own paths. Sometimes their journeys are delightful to watch, and sometimes
it breaks your heart.

Know what you mean. My older boy is living in a sort of tent-cave and
survives by scrounging bottles and cans and whatever else he can find in
dumpsters. (Good thing - bottle deposits) He's the one whose father forced
me to put back in school after a year and a half of unschooling (or as close
as I could come under his watchful eyes. He left again at 16 with his grade
8 and a belief that he was stupid . . . sigh.
