and Young difficult child is expected home.
I find myself quite nervous over the whole situation.
Had daughter in law spend the night with the kids Saturday night and she told me that Young difficult child got a "minor case" as of Saturday. ??? He wasn't where he was supposed to be. Whatever that means. He's in prison...I thought they were heavily monitored.
Had to talk daughter in law out of taking all 3 kids to visit young difficult child in prison on Sunday (after giving her money for her and the kids). My oldest grandson now "knows" that young difficult child is in "jail" as he puts it. daughter in law says that grandson has quite a few memories of young difficult child's past behavior. Says that grandson has told her that when young difficult child gets out that he will "spit all over your face". He also talks about his dad in jail to schoolmates. He needs a father he can look up to and trust. I sure hope difficult child has what it takes...for his son's sake as well as the girls and daughter in law.
husband is giving young difficult child a job but the hours are brutual and young difficult child will have to self structure. It will be very difficult for him. I can already hear myself reminding him everyday of an appropriate bed time. He will be 24 in February and I don't believe he knows anything yet about self-discipline/self-structure.
Got the Lan Line in on Friday for his ankle bracelet that the state is requiring.
We are ready...and yet I feel like we are not.
Still haven't put the house up for sell...maybe 2 weeks left to finalise repairs. We are signing docs tomorrow night though with realtor. That is another issue...as young difficult child has been a notorious slob in the past and I am trying to keep the house in "mint condition" at all times now.
And...I worry about knives. Young difficult child has picked up a knife on himself at least 2 times that I can think of in the past 3-4 yrs and used to self harm/suicidal acts. After learning of what has happend to one of our own here on the board...I just don't know what to expect. I have this aching feeling that if young difficult child thinks he will be sent back to prison for any reason that all H could break loose.
I know I shouldn't fear for a future that I don't even have yet...I guess I just feel like this is young difficult child's ONE LAST CHANCE to have it together and move forward with his life. There's alot hinging on his behavior when he comes home.
