[QUOTE="klmno, post: 351726, member: 3699"] Anyway, I explained that this is why I need peace in order to work and earn money- most people aren't independently wealthy. We aren't in a good position right now- we used to have resources ( a little) that we no longer have. It was partially his fault because his wrongdoings and the resulting court issues cost me my job, but it wasn't all his fault because the economy hoovered for the past year. He still tried to BS me some about not realizing some things but I don't buy that- he should have kknown. My guess is that he bought this cell phone with that money- I'm not taking it because I want cash back from him- not the freaking phone. Also, I told him this situation was why I needed him to do his part as far as us having peace and him keeping lights turned off if he leaves a room, etc. He's been toeing the line on that stuff today. And, TG, still no violence. And he's not gotten on the computer. It's hard to tell with difficult child and maybe it's just because I'm his biased Mom (who doesn't want to give up knowing he has no good alternative), but these things make me think he took a couple of baby steps. Truthfully, I think he's already hung himself with the PO enough. He's done well today so far- after this discussion- he hasn't left but something is still up. He's either involved in something else although he's swearing he's not- that will come out later this week if he's lying unless there's some way to hide it that I'm not aware of. Or, as he has told me, he beleives he's going to get violated over what he's already done and he's antsy about that. I see indications of both, but still thinking something else might be going on and he thinks (due to what guys in Department of Juvenile Justice "taught" him) that he can hide it. But, I'm teetering on it and just waiting to see. PO will know about difficult child being gone Thurs night and not coming home until evening, missing appointment with mentor and me having to call police. Given that he'd already done other things prior to that and on Thurs he'd only been released 2 weeks, unless he toes the line beyond belief until he sees PO later this upcoming week, I feel certain he'll be back before a judge. PO had planned on just extending the house arrest longer and making sure difficult child understands that he WILL comply with a certain period of house arrrest before getting any freedom- then that is going to be a 6:00 curfew to start out with. The other possible issues that I'm concerned about- I've already discussed them with the mentor and will discuss them with PO. We had already discussed it and he was planning on checking into it anyway, but I'll be bringing it up again. [/QUOTE]
