[QUOTE="JKF, post: 462512, member: 12470"] Thanks DDD! The thing with the gameboy is that when he asked for it I didn't say yes. I told him I would think about it and talk it over with my hubby. He just assumed that I'd bring it. difficult child is a major video game junkie and a gameboy is like crack to him. This has been one of the main reasons he steals. So he can get his game "fix". He will steal from everyone and anyone (family, friends, strangers) in order to get cash to go to GameStop. That's why I'm extremely upset over his behavior last weekend. He never once asked about my father. All he was focused on was his game. I know he was disappointed but in my opinion he wasn't disappointed for the right reasons. He feels that because he's in a placement that he should get sympathy from everyone around him. He feels that he should be "rewarded" by us when we visit in the form of video games or a lunch out. When he doesn't get these "rewards" he no longer wants to visit with us. The PCR is over an hour away. It's not close. I feel like he needs to apologize for his behavior last week and at least be willing to actually visit with us when we go and not just get what he wants from us and be on his merry way. I'm going to call his clinician today and get her advice. I don't know what to do anymore. [/QUOTE]
