It hasn't gone well. He checked himself out of the facility they *police and ambulance were involved) as soon a he could and the relationship between them went from close to non-existant as it between him and most of their other family members. He was a smart and hard working kid who achieved a lot at an early age. He put himself through college, had at one point to high paying jobs, bought properties etc However he entered into downhill spiral substance abuse.
