I hope I'm wrong but I have the feeling that difficult child is up to no good today. I got a call from him at 8:45 this morning at the day shelter. He said he took the early shuttle from SH into town and was at the day shelter using the computer. I didn't even know there was an "early shuttle". I thought there was only one - at 10 am - but I could be wrong bc some residents of the shelter DO work.
Anyway - I got another call around 3:45 from some weird local number. I took the chance and answered and it was difficult child saying he was calling from his roommate's cell phone. Supposedly they were walking from SH to the Quick Check which is about 2 miles from the shelter. He said their curfew is 7:30 (although I could swear it's 7) and that he'll call me from the shelter when he gets back.
I don't know - I just have 'that feeling' that something is up. Today marks a week since difficult child entered the SH and for him that's usually the end of the honeymoon period. Sigh.
I've officially decided that if he messes this up I'm done. I will have to cut ties with him because I've done everything I can do to help him. My health is suffering, my relationships are suffering, my life in general is suffering. If he can't follow simple rules and insists on being shady and doing the wrong thing than I have to walk away until he changes. If he ever does.
I really hope I'm wrong and that everything is ok. But deep down inside I know that it's probably not.
