CanesFan,

That is an excellent and uplifting story, thanks so much for sharing.

I think it's so important for young adults to know that second chances do exist. We probably have all read a story at some time of a teen boy or young man who thought the damage they had done was irreparable, that "all was lost", and did something more harmful in despair, even physically harming themselves. A local one here that really worries me:

Maybe this is just because I'm a bit of a softy, but when I hear of a kid really "messing up", I always hope that his parents' first impulse will be to hug him, then look at the consequences together and work toward learning a lesson and finding a positive path from there.

CanesFan, it sounds like you did a great job of treating your son like an adult with consequences, but also supporting him in a time that was tough for all. Congrats to him for working hard and making the best of the situation!
