[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 634647, member: 17542"] Thanks to all of you dear and kind Warrior Moms. Nobody else in the world would really believe the endless horror but you all, and that is a comfort. So...today I went to pick him up from work at McDonald's at 2 to take him to the doctor. I had previously said to him I was going to go into the doctor's office and exam room (what the heck was I thinking?) and find out about his arm for myself (me, the Warrior Mom, hah!) but last night I came to my senses and realized I need to know NOTHING about this. I need to know nothing about the PT they will probably recommend---and of course he will not do----and all of that stuff. No engagement, no me-setting-things-up-and-him-once-again-not-doing-the-things-he-needs-to-do. been there done that for the past 10 years. So...I had decided to myself that I was going to be nice, pleasant, not engage but still give him a ride to the doctor. I went, he came out, and immediately said he needed to ride his bike to my house first (about a mile away). I said, no, but what about riding it to the day shelter (another mile further). No, he said. Okay, what about just across the street to Publix. No, he said. Okay, well, let's go, you can just leave it here. I'm just going to be dropping you off. Oh, you're not going in with me, like you said. No, I'm not. Well, how am I going to get back here and get my bike? I don't know. Well, I'm not going to the doctor then. Okay. I left. Whatever. He was "showing me" since I changed the deal. I am sick to death of this stuff. I mean sick to death of it. I am taking a big long break from difficult child. And it started at 2:10 this afternoon.
