[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 321938, member: 1514"] Exactly K.. Now I really didnt have that problem. Cory didnt particularly follow rules here but then he didnt believe in rules anywhere. Cory was more, shall we say, macho, at placements because he felt he had to show people he was not intimidated. Here at home, he knew he couldnt get away with physical behavior. His behaviors were a bit more bizarre. Cory knew that if he had ever laid a hand on me not only would have had to deal with his father, he had two older brothers that would have beat him senseless. I know one time when he was at a group home he was bucking up against a male staff member and the guy came to me complaining about it. I looked at him and told him, look Cory isnt going to hit anyone. He isnt violent. The guy looked skeptical. I turned around and grabbed Cory who was 14 at the time and about 3 inched taller than me and pushed him up against a brick wall and asked him...you wanna hit someone boy? HUH? You wanna hit someone? He just looked at his feet. I said...if you wanna hit someone, go ahead and hit me...right now...hit me! He just looked at me and said...I cant hit you...your my momma! I said thats right...and when you think you wanna hit someone, you think about me and you know that they are just like me and they are gonna call me and Im gonna come down there and beat your butt! Hey just slinked off. The guy just stared at me. I told him...he isnt going to hit anyone. Dont be afraid of him. [/QUOTE]
