[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 487711, member: 1550"] Apparently, J. scared the hello out of his parents and they really didn't want him to leave. One night, he had to get off the phone (or, as in teen town, stop texting) and both of his parents sat him down and asked him if he was going to leave when he turned eighteen and what he was going to do. Wow. He had called their bluff and refused to back down about Jumper and they actually got afraid he'd really take off. Things have been good for him at home since then. At Thanksgiving, evil stepmother's mother was there. J. was sitting off my himself, not with his family (he doesn't feel comfortable around them) and evil stepmother's mom went up to him and said, "I wish you had brought Jumper. I'd like to meet her. I'm on your side." Haha. Knock me over with a feather. I have softened on them as well. J's father is also his wrestling coach. We took Jumper to a wrestling tournament for J's team and J got very upset after one match. He won it, but felt he was scored wrong and he started storming out of the gym. His father ran after him, caught his arm, talked calmly to him and they walked back in together. J. turned eighteen last Tuesday and his father went with him to buy a car. Jumper thinks he may have helped pay for it, but J. hasn't said so either way. Seems like treating J. like garbage was a big bluff to get him to drop Jumper. More good news for J...he was accepted at the college of his choice in Indiana. I asked Jumper how she felt about it and she said, "It's good! That's where he always wanted to go!" She said that if they break up, then they do. I actually don't think she'll be so brave about it if they break up...she is really attached to him...but her attitude is mature. So today J. drove his car over and the kids went to show their friends his car. He bought an old, practical small car that gets good mileage. That's so like J! Very pragmatic for somebody eighteen. One piece of great news for Jumper: After struggling to pass any tests last year and doing barely "C" work, she made the honor roll! Right now things are good! Ok, thanks for letting me vent/brag. I may never again be able to tell anybody that JUMPER made an honor roll!!!! lol [/QUOTE]
