[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 668681, member: 3419"] Thank you, Pasa. No, I cannot. In fact, I've got to get my ducks in a row. The least little thing will set off Difficult Child. He is struggling with pot. He spent the night at home last night and agreed to have an accountability partner. husband is supposed to be calling a youth minister who specializes in drugs and dropouts. Of course, he's been saying that for a yr. I spoke with him Sunday and had him write it in his planner. Our plan for the moment is for Difficult Child, when he is nearing a meltdown, to call me or take medications at school and sit in a room alone. Of course with him, he can't do it alone so that's where I come in. (He tried that last year and just left campus and went home or went to the woods and smoked.) Difficult Child has a teacher, Mr. Mc, who says is is Southern Italian and he fits the stereotype. He butted heads with-DCtoday. The trigger is Difficult Child's phone. However, Difficult Child needs to know that no matter what a teacher says, he has to do it. He asked for his makeup work this a.m. Mr. Mc said he'd get to it in a bit and he was busy. He then saw difficult child's phone in his hand and told him to hand it over. difficult child said no (this happened last yr with-another teacher) and he would go to ISS if he had to. Mr. Mc said, "I'll write you up." Difficult Child told a friend, "I'm tired of this b*ll sh*t." Mc heard him and said, "Did you just cuss?" "Yes Sir." "Great. I'll write you up again. And I'll send for a security guard to come and get you." "No need to do that. I'll just leave on my own." "Oh, good, that makes three times I can write you up." Huge sigh. This stereotyped Southern Italian needs to leave his Big Family Sarcasm at home, Know what I mean?? And Difficult Child needs to hand over his phone. So ... I picked up Difficult Child and then had to call the assistant principal, and boy, he sounded hot. At the end of the conversation he said. "Difficult Child has a 504 Plan?" I went to Starbucks, not because I wanted to reward Difficult Child, but because *I* needed a chai, and to not be in the house. I left a msg for husband and to his credit, he showed up ... but the first thing he said was wrong. It was right, ethically, but wrong for Difficult Child in crisis. "If the teacher says something, he's in charge." Not what you tell a kid who is at the end of his rope with all of his life mistakes, and who had mental illness and HF Asperger's. I gently told husband that he was correct, but that's not what we were here for. We were here because Difficult Child is exercising his new skill of calling for help when he needs it. I am so glad that you did the right thing by calling me, I told Difficult Child. And he started to cry. [/QUOTE]
