[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 753787, member: 19522"] Thank you all so much. This is what I have been repeating to myself. “What you allow, will continue.” Yes, I am seeing his siblings relax a bit, even in these past few days. I hope my grandson will understand eventually, now he is angry with me. I am not sure when he will come to terms. His M.O. is to blame everyone else. No matter what the age, heart wrenching. It was a bit of both. He did not know he was going. He was warned several times by his therapist and myself that his behaviors were a safety issue for our home and he could possibly be removed. But, communication with our social worker has been strained and the “how” he was removed was traumatic. He ran away the first attempt. Nevertheless, I don’t think there is any good way to go about this. He looked at me as if I betrayed him. It is hard. But he has been menacing, looming. It is like a game to him. It will be a whole different dynamic. I feel myself relaxing a bit more each day. The kids as well. My younger grandson is letting his guard down. He is not acting so tough. This is true.Things were very dark for all of them. They all have so much to process. It has been rough life for all of them. Thank you Copa, yes it was necessary. I have much more to go. His siblings are a challenge at times, but not to this extent. I don’t know what will come with puberty. Ugh. I truly hope this will be a turning point, Copa. Last week he told me that he is too smart for school, he is going to live off grid and sell weed. How many of us here have heard similar? I wonder too how this generation is feeling about their future with all of this news of climate change and such. I know that affected me in the 70’s. Ozone depletion, nuclear power, Cold War. I remember feeling as a teen that adults had ruined the earth, I feared for my future. He can be very charming and endearing. He is handsome and knows how to use his good looks. He is bright as well. Knows what people want to hear. It’s his anger that reveals him. He is running with a rough crowd at school. It is not a good combo. Thank you so much for your thoughts. I am hoping that my grandson will understand that he is manifesting the bullying he witnessed growing up and want to change. For now, it seems to give him power. Which I suppose is a part of the process. He had no control over his life as a child. Now he feels empowered. He shall have to choose if that is the way he wishes to live. New Leaf [/QUOTE]
