Obviously, we all want to encourage our difficult children to have good friends...
Unfortunately, difficult children seem to find other difficult children. And really, that makes sense because we always befriend people with whom we have things in common.
We have given difficult child the opportunity to invite some friends to go bowling...and here she is making calls.
Some of the people she is calling don't even really know her - because I can hear her explaining to them "Yeah, you know me....we're in Science together...?"
And some of the people who DO know her?
Well, one can't go because he's in trouble for threatening somebody with a gun...
another was in psychiatric hospital...
one was involved in a fistfight...
YIKES!!!
(Why did I think it was a good idea for her to invite people bowling?)
