[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 568338, member: 14557"] I spoke briefly with difficult child again. He ended up only getting a scolding and warning that his habit of fleeing is getting old very fast, no punishments other than having to come up with at least five better ways to handle situations like that. I guess he was also rebuked for worrying me, because he did apologised for that and sounded like he had given a lot of thought for how it feels for me to have those kind of phone calls. I doubt he would had come up with that on his own. He also apologised for her girlfriend over her being rude when she called me (she was, but again she was drunk and hysteric, so I guess it is understandable that she felt I was dismissive to her worries over puppy getting cold.) Anyway I told difficult child that while those calls didn't make my night better I would rather have a call from him when he is distressed than him not reaching out to anyone. I guess I'm not yet ready to detach to the degree where I wouldn't want to have those calls. He just feels so young still. WTW: difficult child's team and coaches are very supportive to him and do try to teach him. They got him very young, they knew they were taking in a troubled teen and they were ready for him to be a project both on the field and out of it. Because of the circumstances he is a bargain and they hope that with some work he could turn out to be a gem. That is why we are so happy that he is there. They did sign up for this and knew what they were getting and are ready to do a work to polish rough edges out of difficult child. They pay difficult child barely enough for him to have a roof over his head and food in his mouth (which is clearly under his market price) but the support, coaching etc. makes up for it. [/QUOTE]
