[QUOTE="klmno, post: 225271, member: 3699"] Wow- I just realized I neglected this thread today- I spent my time on General, LOL! I did get him a couple of cd's (music). I'm not sure yet if they'll be wrapped or stuffed in the stocking. I wish I knew of a couple of guys that would go somewhere with him- lasertag, movies, or just come over and play games or eat pizza and hang out. That would be a good b-day thing to do. But, the friendship issue is a big problem right now. The only boy I know of that acts like he wants anything to do with difficult child is the one I'm trying desparately to get difficult child to stay away from. There is a history to it- I did try having them socialize at home for a while but they both threw the house rules in my face in a very brazen way, so that's the end of that. (This is tthe one with his own cutting issue and previous attempt to buy drugs.) difficult child says that there is a oy that hangs out with them sometimes, but I have never seen him or received a phone call from him so I don;t think he exists. I think he was a "cover" for difficult child to try to get out of admitting who he was really sneaking off to hang out with. He had a few good friends last year, but they are gone now. One, his best friend from last year, would come around him, but the boys' parents won't let him. This has broken difficult child's heart and that pretty much triggered this big friendship problem this school year. I am considering, however, a couple of movie tickets or something for his b-day next month- if he starts going to school on a regular basis. This way, maybe he would feel a little more motivated to make 1 or 2 new friends at school so he could ask them to go. Actually, I'll see how he does over the next couple of weeks- when he's stable, he does pretty well making friends, although he'll never be the social butterlfy. And, I did decide to let him have the gift certificate to the mall for Christmas. I like the idea of taking him out after Christmas when the sales are on. I'll wrap it up in a big box and wrap it.
