Hello All....my weekend was peaceful. I told husband I did not feel up to having SS over the weekend and he agreed so we did not have him here. It was nice to be able to enjoy a quiet weekend. I really needed it. But all good things must come to an end, and SS and bio mom are causing more drama this week. As I have mentioned there is a big truancy problem as SS keeps refusing to go to school and keeps making up various illnesses in order to get bio mom to let him stay home. Of course then bio mom has to take him to urgent care each time because the truant officer requires SS to have a doctors. note each time he's absent in order to have the absence excused since he has missed so much school this year. I don't know how bio mom manages to get all these doctors. (she goes around to different urgent cares) to say SS is sick when he really isn't, but she so far has managed to do it each time. Well she texts husband at 11:30 last night saying that SS is saying he isn't going to school today because he has an infected hair follicle on his head and that she needs husband to take him to the dr. as she cannot take off work to do it. husband sees right through SS and tells bio mom he cannot take off work either to take him just for a pimple on his head. So bio mom texts back this morning and says the pimple is much bigger and she is taking him to the ER. SS texts also last night and tells husband that the pimple on his head is giving him migraines. There is not a word of truth to any of this of course, just more lies from bio mom and SS. If SS would take a shower every day and wash his hair he might not have a pimple on his head. Bio mom resorted to the ER when she found out that husband couldn't take him to the dr. to ensure that she gets a dr. note, because I am sure she realized that any urgent care is going to dismiss SS's minor complaint of a sore pimple on his head. At the ER she will make up all kinds of crap to get them to do tests and then of course she will get her precious dr. note to keep her and SS out of trouble with the truant officer. I am sooooooo tired of dealing with this every week. It's getting really old and I don't need more stress. husband says nothing is going to change if SS doesn't get some consequences for his behavior, and bio mom refuses to file the unruly child paperwork on him which she was advised to to over TWO years ago by his psychiatrist and the prosecutor. She even had the paperwork drawn up, but never filed it with juvenile court. We've told her repeatedly that she really has no choice, if she doesn't do it then there is no hope for this child to ever become a responsible adult. It may be too late already.
Please give me some advice. Thanks.
We care.
