[QUOTE="Belzog, post: 175857, member: 5542"] Yeah, they told me on the phone today about the honeymoon. I, too, wonder if he likes the uber structure there. And the attention. Nobody waits for him to pee so they can check out what he made at home. The nurse I talked to this morning said the do lots of tests, then the test them. Like they try to push their buttons to see what they'll do. We did have a family session too. He declined to talk and when they asked me why he was there, I mentioned a few behaviors, then the social worker prompted me, "Is there anything else? Don't you have more?" Then the flood gates opened. "Stealing: unacceptable. Carrying a knife: unacceptable." etc. I got on a roll and before I could stop I had reeled off a laundry list of complaints. Maybe that is what they wanted, I dunno. But it made me feel bad. He advised me not to address him because he wouldn't answer me, then asked to be taken back upstairs. It's like it's this big problem between us, but it's not just us. He's been stealing from the store too. And the knife carrying thing has nothing to do with our dynamic, at least not directly. Right? If only I hadn't gotten divorced so much, or not moved so much, or he didn't have health problems, or his bio-father had kept in contact, or the sky was green or something. Right? I just wish I could fix things, like I did in the old days. You know, how when they fall and scrape their kneed and you hold them and sing to them and kiss them better and put a band aid on it? There is no bandaid for an attitude problem, or whatever this is. And you can't hug someone while they are trying to slug you. [/QUOTE]
