Yes, most people party in college, but you have to be very careful when someone else is serving the drinks. If you're just drinking from a big batch of something, anyone could have slipped something in as a 'joke'. College kids are still <I>kids</I> and they just don't think about the harm they could cause.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that he confessed - it shows that he trusts you and Big D enough to tell you the truth. You can't have failed him if he knows he can tell you the truth.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there - hopefully he's doing much better now!PCOSMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614791584850988099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33128677.post-45234387406570266282007-10-06T17:19:00.000-04:002007-10-06T17:19:00.000-04:00How scary!

Maybe this trip to the ER (and all the aggrivation/attention) will be a much needed lesson? Silver lining inserted here??<BR/>And looking at your pics, your yard is amazing!!

You love him, you're there for him, you have not let him down.<BR/>You're a great Mom!<BR/><BR/>What happens next? Has it complicated his medical issues or will he be fine physically as soon as his system recovers from the mystery punch?beaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627886826215379414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33128677.post-4428267309590172372007-10-04T11:12:00.000-04:002007-10-04T11:12:00.000-04:00There will be a whole lot more emotions going on o...There will be a whole lot more emotions going on once he recovers quickly, including anger which will make you feel even more guilty. As you said, parenting really is forever and as long as he knows that your support for him in reaching his academic goals and beyond isn't going to waiver, then I hope he realizes his choice to drink was not the best one.<BR/><BR/>I hope he recovers quickly and that his medical condition doesn't complicate things. As you know, parenting also means letting them bruise themselves. I'm sure he's feeling pretty red-faced about the whole thing.DDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17864339996118337420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33128677.post-18840409659776280962007-10-04T10:47:00.000-04:002007-10-04T10:47:00.000-04:00Is S1 ok?

Glad that it was not a medical issue but still upset that it was self inflicted. Man, and here I was thinking my life was hard now that my toddler is crawling and climbing on the kitchen table! :)Rob, Tina and the boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840954020421165800noreply@blogger.com
