difficult child was a volunteer fireman before he was sent back to prison. He was kicked out Occupational Therapist (OT) the group home for not participating in court ordered therapy sessions and sent back to jail to serve out the rest of his sentence. That was back in May. He had responded to a fire the day before he was taken back into custody and today I got a letter from him with a news clipping. He had circled one of the fire men in the photo and said that it was him. He then went on and on about always wanting to be a fireman and that he doesn't care if he gets paid or not but when he gets out of jail that is what he wants to do again.
The problem is that the news article is from two weeks ago and the man is not my son. difficult child had blacked out all the dates on the obits on the back of the clipping. So, I am wondering if I should be concerned that he might be loosing his grip on reality again or was he just substituting this picture for one that was never taken of fires that he did indeed respond to back in the spring?
How do you think I should respond to this? I hate being lied to and I hate that difficult child would think I'm such an idiot that I wouldn't detect such an obvious ruse. -RM
