Update on Mario

Mario was released recently into a treatment center for 3 months where he will be integrated into the community. He stopped writing for awhile. He was drawing more and I hope to share some of that soon. Unfortunately much of his drawing and writing is considered inappropriate by the staff, so much of his work is confiscated and probably thrown away.
He has shown a significant change in personality. We have grown and are creating a good connection. He is slowly able to communicate openly and on his terms. Often he shares without needing to be asked, which makes me think he is trusting. He is also learning to communicate his less desirable feelings in more understandable ways, and he doesn't use so much profanity. Believe me the profanity and sharp cutting words are still flowing. He is recognizing that his life is his and that not all the world is against him.

Lets see how Mario can handle the outs. 3rd time is a charm.
