How's he doing msbelle? Is he scared?
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Oh msbelle, I wish things were easier. A strict routine sounds like a good plan.
I finally lost it with Noah today. He was exhibiting toady behavior. So I took away the chance of him going to his baseball game and a birthday party and I took away his legos, the board games, no TV and no outside time to play.
He will also not get to use the iphone again for a long long long time and I deleted all the apps he likes anyhow.
He's being very quiet now which I appreciate.

He just wants out. He can call every night and last night all he said was to get him out and then he asked if he could get a DS. I think he is still not accepting responsibility for being the reason he is there.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Thanks, Erin, but better to send to my profile email address, which I can also access through my phone. (My cellphone number is in my profile, if any Buffista wants it.) Picture and video messaging are blocked on my cellphone account, for cost and spam control.
You and DH should check out Powell Observatory some time, it is a nice facility, in a good location not much farther south than Spring Hill.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Poor guy. I’m 45, and I still struggle getting a handle my own set of self-destructive behaviors.

you don't run into traffic. you also don't go around hitting people or loudly threatening suicide.
We may be looking in an outpatient facility for the summer where he would be in a locked secure facility with professional medical/counseling staff all day and then come home each night. None of us really believe he can go the whole summer without incident.

So this just happened to the building across the street from me. (Nobody was hurt). I’m having a hard time figuring out how it happened, other than “SUVs make people stupid”.
Also, I have FCBDed! Now I have another pile of comics to add to the pile of unread comics I got last week.

Because books.
I hope that helps, msbelle. I hope mac can get what he needs out of this. Wish I was there to have a drink with you. Or make a drink for you.

That's really hard to see someone you love go through, msbelle. I hope you can find something that helps. I can see how a strict routine and decluttering make sense for both of you - both once you have it in place and for you to be decluttering now. Those kinds of circumstances are when I do the most cleaning and tidying, it seems.
