Anyone want to be a teenager? Only slightly damaged? Or about to be at least...
Just when I start to get proud of him and think he is really shaping up and getting his head screwed on right, he then does something so fucked up it makes my head spin.
The shrink gave him Seroquel (sp?) a prescription sleeping pill. At first we kept then locked in our room and gave them to him each night. Then as we started to trust him more, we left them on the counter and made him get them and watched him take them.
Now we just tell him to go take them.
Today, R. gets a call from the Vice-Principal. J. took his prescription sleeping pills to school and gave them to his buddy, who then gave some to another kid. They got caught. Of course.
Now J. is suspended and has to go to a special school for 30 days. Something called BIC. You heard of that boxx9000? No school bus, so we have to drive him there and pick him up.
Which means time off work, for both of us. And we are back to square friggin' one with J. He is confined to quarters until further notice.
I just put a chess board in his room.
"Chess is about judgement and strategy, and thinking ahead. You are going to practice. And you and I are going to play two or three times a week. If I do not see an improvement, I will do such things, what they are yet I know not, but they shall be the Terrors of the Earth."

I know he's good when he's asleep -
But you don't know what he's dreaming about, do ya...
