That's a tough pill to swallow at this late stage. It's a decision that clearly will affect the whole family. My heart goes out to them. Did your DS receive any news?
Good luck to you and thank you for sharing. Sometimes things don't always work out the way we think they will or should. It took a lot of courage for you to walk away from KP but you are right that you need to follow your heart.
I think the recent popularity of vaping unfortunately plays an increasing role in this too. I have witnessed some taking out a Juul at the high school right after track practice. Couldn't believe my eyes!
