[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 482469, member: 3419"] Thank you all. Yes, difficult child was very manipulative and controlling last night. And angry. Fran, I hear you. It is not lack of talent in music as opposed to lyrics, it is both. I spoke to him and his friend about the lyrics this a.m. It was hard getting difficult child to talk because his friend is extremely verbal and kept jumping in to speak for difficult child. Argh. difficult child didn't seem to mind that he had a translator. They woke me up and asked me which chores difficult child had to do. The first two difficult child said NO to. Say what? I found other chores for him to do and told him he could do the first two on the list later. Then T left to do his chores (their plan was to do them together but T's mom wanted him to do his alone). He will be back, no doubt. ;) I am calling several places today and have to differentiate between those places that are a really good placement, and those that will take anyone because they need the money ... that's what happened with-P at assisted living. Sigh. by the way, difficult child is ADAMANT that his girlfriend is none of my biz, that she is not too young, and that I have to apologize to him for even bringing it up in therapy. I told him I apologized for making him feel threatened. However, it is my job as a mother to stay informed, to have an opinion, and in most cases, direct him. He disagreed and I could see him ramping up again. They have not been alone ... yet. I have to figure out her last name and where she lives. I'll bet I can get it from T if difficult child won't tell me. I do not see difficult child as a predator. I see him as a hormonally challenged, potentially possessive, emotionally immature bomb waiting to go off. [/QUOTE]
