So, if your CD teen becomes "good" for a few days - yes, as I posted last week I think - do you suspect something? Are you tense, waiting for the proverbial other shoe to drop? Or do you just take it as it comes?
Okay, sorry, a few questions!
GFG17 was great for a few days last week - I assumed the medications were working some kind of wonder here, because really all they do is take the rage/anger down a few notches. Well, I guess it's still there, but it's pretty subdued. Which is great! For starters.
The snarky part of me thought maybe his good behavior, pleasant, helpful attitude, etc. was because he'd gotten permission to spend the night at a friend's house on Saturday and he KNOWS for certain sure that we'd yank that in a heartbeat if he acted up.
Sunday was okay - setting the stage for a repeat, as long as he wasn't a PITA after an overnight...Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday he was a royal PITA. Wednesday afternoon we took away the car and had a kinda/sorta blow-up.
Today he's great! Cleaned up the garage, asked what else he could do, started his laundry, went grocery shopping with me. Perfectly fine and well, normal.
I WANT him to be fine. My gut says he just wants the flippin car back.
Thoughts?
