Thank you for sharing Theo's story. He mentioned starting to get high around age 14, which is when Grant started. I wonder if there were any mental health issues or learning challenges that might have opened the door like there was with G. The fact that drug and alcohol use/abuse is so common makes me wonder how often the story starts earlier where kids are just not wired to be successful in our society. Hormones also kick in around 14 and that's also when schizophrenia often manifests itself. Maybe I'm just projecting our own story on others, though. Just makes me wonder. I'm happy to hear Theo plans to see his family at Christmas.
