stevenstwin, i bet it wasn't easy for him to apologize - even on paper. Teenagers today go through so many things that we never considered at their age. I was talking to a girl friend of mine this morning and her daughter is taking her through the fire and has been the last 6 years. She's bipolar and refuses to take her medication - so she's never quite "balanced".

The apology in itself is a good sign - letting you know that he is not looking trouble and is willing to admit when he is wrong - something my 19 year old daughter very rarely does - but something my 10 year old son does all the time. It's amazing how these kids are like night and day and how parents have to always be ready to adjust to give each kid what they need specifically.

I pray that everything works out for what's best for all and it says a lot in that you are more than taking his feelings into consideration and not just focusing on what you want. I'm sure he feels it too - hence the apology.
