But when it did give us an opportunity, when it didn't go well, I said, do you know why that didn't go well?

And now, I mean, he's doing beautifully in high school.
Actually, the counselor was telling her in rehab that he's been three months clean and sober.

And it's so lovely as a parent to be able to offer help.
And if my kid doesn't want it, have him say no, and I'll step back.
