I just have been under some stress the last few weeks, and these days I tend to crawl under a rock, instead of letting it bother me… which means of course, that I don’t write much… or call anyone for that matter. I feel like I might catch someone at the wrong time… and in [...]

Dear help line…

How does one motivate a 14 year old that has no wish to be motivated?
No matter what I do or say, I cannot get him to see the bigger picture.
I can’t get him to see that living paycheck to paycheck is not a life.
I cannot get him to see that the things [...]
