[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 621170, member: 1550"] In my opinion, he is so far gone, video addiction is the least of his problems. I would certainly address it with a chld who had more hope for a normal life, but it will probably make him a horror for you this weekend. I'm sorry you have to deal with this with both husband and bio. mom not having a clue as to how far this kid can go off the deep end. Only you seem to get it. I have a suggestion. Lock your door at night so he can't get in. That way you are at least safe when you are unconscious...lol. You can't really see what he is doing if you're sleeping so best to keep him away from you. I don't remember if he likes fires or not, but I'd hide all matches or lighters if he does like fire. This kid, if ticked off enough, could burn the house down. I knew a family whose foster child did just that and then turned to mom, while the house was burning, and asked in a totally normal voice, "I'm hungry. Can we go to McDonalds?" She then had to be held back as she went to choke him. Nobody got into trouble. And he is still a dangerous kid. Sending you peace and serenity and hoping for a good weekend. I'm not so sure I'd challenge this kid though. It's up to you, but I am not convinced he is capable of learning by losing things he enjoys. I am thinking he is more apt to try to punish you both in very bad ways... Oh, and I believe he is delusional. All the more reason to be afraid of him. Violence and delusions are NOT good. Maybe he'll start to think you're out to get him and think he has to get you first. Poor kid, actually. He is very sick. I think he does need that 24/7 treatment for his own safety and yours too.
