Jeff, As a mother I want to see my children grown up and be responsible
for themselves. We do the best we can for each of them. I work with
disabilities of my own. Reach out to a school counselor who will help
you with other resouces. I have had help with getting into classes. Get
into a support group if you need to. You will find it will help with
your self esteem and at the same time learning that you can do anything
if you try. It can feel scary but the rewards are great! There are
programs that help people with disabilites. But you have to make the
move to find out about them. You won't reqret it.

I have no doubt that your mother loves you very much. There are eight in
my family and mom was very busy. She hardly took any time for herself.
Your mom does want you to be successful. Keep communicating with her. Do
what you can to make changes. We are always growing. If you ever want to
talk I'm available.

The children need to know the value of money and the responsibilities of
their actions. They need to work and earn the money to pay you back.
They also need to learn the leason of your values. They have violated
your trust. Be sure to do the right thing now. They are growing up fast
and will soon be in the adult world. Let them know you love them but
they have to pay the consequences. I do not advice you to humiliate them
in public. They need to learn the leason but not hurt their spirit. I
hope all goes well.

Think of you
