[QUOTE="klmno, post: 482744, member: 3699"] My son gets in a mode where he lies to himself and somewhere inside, he knows that he's the one who wanted to join scouts and went aas far as he could as a cub/webelos, then decided on his own to quit, and he LOVED swimming. I did push a little for him to get involved in baseball but after he tried it a year and didn't like being on a team, he quit and I dropped the issue. I'd love to be a fly on the wall the day he finally opens up to a therapist and says the things to them that 'justify' his reasoning for being mad at me, like why he thinks it's my fault that he lost his childhood. Any time he has started opening up to a therapist, he's come back and said 'all the therapist told me was that I have some skewed thinking'. LOL! skeeter- I know there are still some kids growing up withoutt doing everything there is to do before 14 or even 16-18. They typically don't end up in Department of Juvenile Justice though so all my sone has heard from boys around him the past few years is the stuff THEY were doing, and I have no doubt most of them have done a lot more. My son really has trouble fitting in with them and he doesn't fit in with those ITRW who haven't done all this anymore because he's been incarcerated so long. I don't think I'm going to make any issue if they want him to go to alternative school when he gets released now. It might be the only way for him to find a comfortable 'middle ground'. [/QUOTE]
