Our son, Robert, left for wilderness and rehab 10 years ago last February. Then he went to a "mainstream" boarding school 3,000 miles from us, finished high school by the skin of his teeth, took a year off, (which was nothing but problems and trouble,
including 30 days in county jail), after jail enrolled in college, graduated
top of his class in 4 years, has emigrated to Israel and is currently
severing his required military service in the IDF, Israeli Defense Force.
He is 25 years old and an amazing man. Goal: return to the US to attend
graduate school. Our story in a nutshell. It's a long, long road, trust your gut feeling, hang in there, be calm, cool and collected AND always, always speak in a well modulated voice ... if you have to scream, do it in private.

A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," a property called self-similarity." Because they appear similar at all levels of magnification, fractals are often considered to be infinitely complex. Natural objects that approximate fractals to a degree include clouds, mountain ranges, lightning bolts, coastlines, and snow flakes.
