Leslie,
Thanks so much for your response. Since that post, Matt has moved out
and is living on his own. He is working in retail, for a company that
has filed bankruptcy and is trying to find another job. Without a
college education, he is finding it difficult. He is still involved
up to his eyebrows in Quixtar, oh I mean Amway, and will not listen to
anything that I have to say. I just have to "Let go, Let God".
