[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 568007, member: 1550"] UPDATE: Just got off the phone with him. He was calmer and said he knows he has to stop letting J. bother him so much, but he doesn't know how and he needs therapy (duh!). And he also said he can't GET therapy because he makes too much money so that none of the cheap or sliding scale places will take him. He claims he has called them all. I asked if he told them how much of his money he has to dish out and then he starting yelling again. "THEY DON'T CARE! Either stop saying that or don't come out." (Little does he know, nor will he until I fake illness, that I have no intention of coming out). He actually does WANT me to come out! Back to him, I did call his NAMI office for him to see if there is anyplace who would take him and gave them HIS number and mine. He can't really talk at work, but neither can I and I have to go back soon. I am doing all I can, such as these phone calls for him. But he doesn't help himself. He won't listen to EVERYONE and not pick up the phone when she calls on days that he doesn't have his son. He won't ignore her texts and delete them. He isn't going to do better until he gets help because he can't handle stress at all. And he is so negative...he is certain he will lose his son completely to ex. I am really sad that my oldest two boys turned out to be such jerks, but they are and I can't change them. I am going to spend Christmas with my husband and three other kids who are kind and loving. Hub and I have been thinking about doing short term foster care again, with no intention of adopting, but this would probably fill the hole I have where a grandchild should be. And I can help the kids too...I want younger kids only OR pregnant teens. My next call, as soon as I get off of here is going to be to the foster care agency in my area. I want to feel them out.
