This is a Turning Point

My son was charged with possession, and I am just thankful that the judge believes in rehabilitation rather than a more severe punishment. He was ordered to take Minor in Possession Classes, and I decided to join him. I was confused on why my son made the choices that he did, and I thought by joining him I might get some answers as well. It was an eight hour class that he was able to take online and though he didn't like the idea of me sitting there with him, we actually developed a deeper bond over this. As he learned about the consequences of his actions and what alcohol and drugs can do to a person's life, he opened up to me about why he did the things he did. Talking about his feelings is something new for him, but I am glad that he is finally talking about things. Life has not been easy for him, but I do feel this is a turning point now.
