well, "run away" son is back home ... seems the girl he went to live with was trying to make him into something he wasn't ... she told him get a tatoo so he now has a tat on his back left shoulder... she told him pierce your ears so he now has tiny studs in his ear ... she told him we are piercing our tongue so he did ... then chris' money ran out and suddenly she didn't like his voice, the way he dresses, ... chris told us how she was ... the dad is paranoid skiz and chris thought daughter was too ... he said it was like he couldn't move, talk to anyone, without her approval ... he said he thought she had "too many different personalities" ... anyway he is home ... has a beaut of a black eye ... says he ran into door ... disenchanted and sad but overall seems ok ... i was afraid he would be withdrawn from reality ... as autistic people tend to do when stress is too high ... the drive down and back was extremely hard on frank ... we were in my car ... an older model grand prix ... extremely hard for him to get in and out off .... but it had the better tires and the better gas mileage ... and of course he insisted on driving the whole time ... i tried to get him to let me drive but no ... i think he drove to stay calm ... so we are home safe ... tired but safe ...

i am leaving for work in about 10 minutes so i need to jet ... i hope this post finds everyone cheerful ... until this evening ...
