So I was called to the school this afternoon where DFS awaited me. My difficult child went to school Thursday (After the blowup Wednesday night) and told the guidance counselor that he was beaten by my husband and myself, that we told him we hated him, that we made him sleep on the front porch several times. Of course, he left out the part of getting caught on drugs and being responsible for a break in at our home. So we told DFS everything starting with catching him smoking pot early last December. DFS then involved JO who tested him again. Guess what? He passed. I don't know how he failed 2 nights ago and passed tonight but he did. Luckily, I went home and got the tests out of the trash and showed them, and he admitted to the marijuana. So after sitting at the school giving the story for 3+ hours and going back and forth, difficult child has been taken to his grandparents for the weekend and we have a meeting on Monday afternoon. DFS told his that they do not feel he is unsafe here on a permanent basis, but maybe a small respit is necessary. But now, the 1 thing that I was trying to avoid (getting JO involved) has happened. I'm not sure where this is going to lead or what his motivation was in doing this. After all of this I don't even know what to think. I guess I just needed to vent. Thanks for letting me :-/
