So, difficult child had this friend, T, about whom I posted several times at the beginning of the yr. He lives nearby, and was always over at our house. He would ingratiate himself and compliment me (think of Eddie Haskell) and override difficult child on food preferences, and even play interference when difficult child was beginning to rage, and try to explain to us what difficult child was trying to say.
difficult child totally quit hanging around with-him, about the time I found out that he'd used pot and who knows what else (not crack, but another word ... I actually posted it but don't recall the word at the moment), and I called his mom, and she was in total denial. (Very young and naive. In the middle of a divorce and totally into her own life, as is the dad.) difficult child is black and white when he makes decisions. I actually tried to talk him into being friends with-T again. difficult child said no. Absolutely not.
difficult child was right ...
T and his supplier got caught on school property and both got kicked out. They're both in juvie. (I hope they are seprated. This is a big small town and to put them together in juvie would be like putting the fox in the hen house.)
I'm glad difficult child told us everything before it all imploded, and that he cut off T, too.
All in all, T is a nice kid. Just needs more guidance. Sigh.
I asked difficult child what he thought about T.
"I couldn't care less."
Alrighty, then.
Oh, difficult child doesn't really know the other kid except in passing. I just don't know how to change my subject heading ...
