flow just needs a quick moment of pride! :)

My DS1 has just had his end of first year BTEC diploma results, and has bagged himself a clutch of passes, one merit and one distinction. :)

Anyone who has read my posts over the last few years will know we've been through a lot, and nine months ago (when he was taking drugs, getting arrested, stealing, being violent towards me and generally being a total arse) I could never have imagined this was possible. And more importantly, I know he couldn't either.

I am so proud of him for getting himself together and working so hard this year. It's really hard to believe it'll last, but I think he might have turned a corner. :) :) :)

Wow, well done flows ds and more the point well done flow for not giving up on him. You need a medal and some

Nice one, flow. That's great news for you and your DS.

It just shows that things can and do turn around.

I am happy for you and your Ds.. Makes me feel more hopeful when I hear such positive news.

Well done FlowDS. Not to mention well done Flow for persevering and never giving up on him .

Thank you, thank you!

bows, flourishes feather with which you could have knocked me down

well done to you and your DS.

Onwards and upwards !!!

That's amazing , and a inspiration to me to know things can work out ok x

I'm glad Fressia. That's what I wanted. This time last year I was desperate for a bit of hope.

(And ha! That was my school motto Tray!)

I remember your posts from back then, and I often read your posts, thinking how wise you are.

I'm so pleased he is doing so well.

lovely news

Thank you herladyship and Sanity.

Well done to your DS Flow and well done to you

Well done to Flow's ds, and, as others have said, to Flow for continuing to be there for him. It's great to hear when they pull things round after a tough time.

I hope you have an hour of pride for every second of stress you have endured. And I hope your DS basks in your pride and continues to flourish.

Thank you mumee, mindful, Back and pip. :)

That's a lovely blessing, pip. I hope so too. 9 months on, I am still suffering from stress-related illness, so the teenage years certainly have taken their toll.

Oh that is lovely Well done, flowds- and well done, flow. You've hung in there!

Thats brilliant! Well done flows ds and you for hanging in there and not giving up hope.

You inspire me and your posts give me hope for the future for my family.

All the best and keep going! X

Thanks cory and Ghosts :)

That is wonderful news. Well done to both you and your DS!!

I read your replies too flow and I am struck by how clear, concise, non-judgmental, helpful and always spot on they are!! We know the troubles you have had and this has clearly given you the ability to advise and help so many other people on here. If anyone deserves good news, you do!!

Good for you flow and good for your ds !

You have been an inspiration and a comfort for many of us going through the "teenage horrors"

There is light at the end of the tunnel, that is for sure

If you don't mind, I would also like to report that my dd (this time last year complete nightmare ) has just got her end of year results at college and has bagged grades A, B, B for her mid course results

What a lovely post

Fantastic
