[QUOTE="buddy, post: 498410, member: 12886"] I am so glad for you. that felt like a long week even to ME, lol! What a relief it must be to have him in a home. I hear you about his wanting something, but it could be another answer, he maybe wants both...to see you AND to get the bike or something. It is still progress and you will know when you see him because you know him so well. (Q actually gave me that insight, I have said to him.. you are just saying sorry to try to earn back --whatever-- and he will say, I do want to earn back --whatever--- but I really am sorry too. Sometimes he says it is ok if he doesn't get the thing or activity, but he is still sorry--- and I usually still dont give him whatever I took for a long time, but... I can then tell if he really is sorry or not, he has a fit if he just wants the thing and just says OK and/or gives me a hug....sometimes even writes a sorry letter... if he really means sorry) I hope for his sake he keeps working his program, finds a job, and starts to realize what a fantabulous mom and dad he has. Nice work taking care of you. [/QUOTE]
