Hi all, had a meeting at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) yesterday with case manager and therapist and probation officer, everyone could not be more proud of Justin telling him to keep it up looks like he is taking the right road.
He did tell me afterwards he is having more of a difficult time seeing me and me leaving each time and that he feels like he wants to shut down and give up... but quickly said I am not going to I just feel that way sometimes because it is so hard to stay on top of doing so good all the time here. I simply told him he needs to just keep on keeping on he is on the path to coming home once he completes the program.
But the reason I am posting.. in the begining of Jan. he wrote his Mom. First time he had attempted to make contact with her in almost a year. (After her number was disco)
She has not written back.. it has only been three weeks but he is still in the mind thought of she will not ignore me... ugg No one seems to know how to handle this one with him. Once he comes to see she is not going to write him back.
I told him a couple of weeks ago during a family session, she maybe waiting until he is 18 since she does not like dealing with me in order to have contact with him. No clue I just wish I knew how to help him with this. Even the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is in new territory as it is not often you hear of a Mom refusing to have anything to do with her child. Even though she has never had anything to do with him. At 14 and 1/2 he still holds out hope she will be a part of his life.
I have a feeling in a shorter time than even I may know he is going to come to the conclusion she is dead to him and he will hate her for being what she is.. and he may carry that his whole life due to her actions or lack of
