[QUOTE="Lil, post: 656870, member: 17309"] Wow. I'm kinda sorry I posted that funny...because it's not. Right now, if he were here, I think I'd do violence to him. I could actually beat him. Maybe choke. Choking him like Homer chokes Bart sounds good. He's not going to the church. He called and he's all down and depressed. He says he feels like [EMAIL]cr@p[/EMAIL] and "it's all he could do to go to work." He didn't respond to my texts because his phone's been off. He didn't call the church property manager yesterday and I just...I feel sick. He also didn't call Job Corps. Told me his phone was dead. Funny how that works...since he texted me at noon yesterday and it wasn't dead then. And wasn't dead when he was texting last night. Apparently it only dies when I might want to actually speak to him. He's turning it off. He started in on how he won't get it done and etc. I said I'm 99% SURE the judge will let him go - he just has to show he's made a start!!! Fact is, he's freaked out about going to Job Corps in 10 days. He thought he had a month or more. Either way, he has to do his community service. He had the nerve to bi*ch about that. Can you imagine? I told him, "I didn't put you in this position. But I'm the one that got this worked out for you. I'm the one who went back to court and got you and extension. I'm the one willing to go AGAIN to church to get you yet another extension and permission to go. What have you done?" He is SO sorry he's failed me. (said sarcastically) I said, "You aren't failing me - you're failing yourself!" I told him you're a grown man, do what you want. That led to more "I don't have a choice" and "I have no one to even say goodbye to because no one wants me" and bunches of other bs. Oh, and I had to call Jabber and tell him he wasn't coming, because HE wouldn't do it. And yes, at that point I lost it and told him he was too much of a (name that's better suited to a cat) to call his own father! He said, "because I don't want him to yell and me...etc." and I said, "WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M DOING?" Really? What did he think Jabber would do over the PHONE? He acts like the man beats him and he's never laid a hand on him! WTH? He doesn't want to go to Job Corps - he just doesn't think he has a choice. I can't say he's wrong. He doesn't have any good choices. He has no where to live because the people he is with are counting the days to him leaving. He has no friends. He has no relatives that would take him in. He has a little part-time job and not enough money to rent his own place. He can't go to the shelter until January since he got kicked out. He's literally without options beyond sleeping on the street. AND NONE OF THIS IS MY FAULT! That he's wasted the last seven months he's been out of our house and he took up with these useless "friends" and ALL of it - NOT my FAULT! I'm so angry I'm just livid. [/QUOTE]
