I tried to run away & ....

[timer lady]

no one cared, Mom. This is what wm told me this evening on the phone.

I didn't even ask why he tried to run - didn't really care. It's mostly the same thing, different day kind of thing with wm.

I DID ask him if all of this nonsense was working for him. He replied "no, it's not". I then asked him why he was wasting all of this energy pulling these antics.

"I want to get kicked out of here, go back to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) so I can graduate again & come home."

I just have to learn not to ask questions.

(snicker) Hang in there! It sounds like his maturity level hasn't quite caught up- but you gotta give him credit- he was probably honest with you!! And, that requires a little honesty with self. I think he'll be ok. Now, you on the other hand, well, better take care of yourself- you have a long haul ahead of you!!

"I want to get kicked out of here, go back to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) so I can graduate again & come home."

Oh, OK then... hey, wait a minute...

 

[Wiped Out]

Oh my Linda,
It's always something isn't it? It seems completely like logical difficult child thinking. I'm glad at least he realizes it's not working for him. Hugs.

It's kinda sweet in a convoluted, twisted sort of way. {{{Hugs}}}

So much energy expended going around that darn hoop - heaven forbid they just jump through it.

I do believe we somehow have to figure out how to suspend reason when having conversations with our boys, my dear friend.

If they ever do get a grip and channel all that effort for something positive? There's absolutely nothing they won't be able to accomplish.

Banging my head on the wall right next to you.

 

[klmno]

SLSH- that is what I believe in and the dream I live!!

"So much energy expended going around that darn hoop - heaven forbid they just jump through it."

Love it, love it!! And ain't it the truth?

 

[crazymama30]

It is just so sad that they just don't get it. At least it sounds like he was honest with you.

 

[meowbunny]

I'm truly boggled. Hugs for you -- that had to hurt to hear.

 

[Christy]

There's no sense arguing with logic like that!

 

[timer lady]

I just know better than to ask questions of the tweedles. Especially wm when he's in the frame of mind he was in last night. But no, I get pulled in & want to nurture & guide my son. I know better than this.

Witz, I truly appreciate your response; kinda of says it all.

Sue, you really need to get up here & beat me about the head. I've learned from the best (you) not to get sucked into this kind of stuff.

I actually smiled a bit after talking with wm; started laughing as I shared this with husband. (husband was ROFL)

Beware of a difficult children logic - it will make you crazy.

Thank you ladies - I knew you'd all understand.

Our shrink told us to eliminate the W's as much as possible.

WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY? - MOSTLY WHY.

So I substituted with



but only in my mind - my face paints a much different picture-I think Ronald McDonald and try to live with myself.

Hmm. Wonderfully convoluted logic. Sigh.
