When Brandi found out about Dustin's night out and his "almost" arrest, she was furious. She didn't believe in yelling at her children...especially when they were nearly grown...but Dustin was just being foolish. She couldn't just let him throw his life away! Dustin listened in silence as Brandi got onto him for what he had done.
Afterwards, Brandi felt awful. Maybe she had been too hard on Dustin. Maybe she had been expecting too much of him. She had naturally turned to him when Skip died, but was that fair to Dustin? No...because Dustin had every right to be a teenager. And her problems weren't his responsibility. Brandi decided to not be so hard on Dustin, and to take on more of the responsibilities of running things in the house.
Brandi was showing her pregnancy now. After this baby was born, Brandi would find a job and even wanted to send Dustin to college. She couldn't afford to have him move to the campus of the University, but why couldn't he live at home and take classes? If she got a job, they should be able to afford that. Dustin was thrilled with the suggestion. He was going to get a college degree after all!
Things definately got better at home. Everyone seemed so much happier. Even Dustin.
Dustin tried harder than ever to keep his grades up. He managed to get all "A's" for the first time in his life!
