Hugs to you and Mac too, msbelle.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

I'm sorry it's so rough, msbelle. Love to you and Mac, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You are not a monster, msbelle. Mac has had plenty of completely reasonable options and many opportunities to figure them out. And now you are helping him figure out additional options by pointing him in the right directions.

Herding cats for fun
Better this kick in the butt at 18 than having a rude and surly man child of 30 refusing to speak to you, leave your house or stop playing video games. This is the hard part of parenting your brat.
((Msbelle)) stay strong.

I have a couple of friends I always want to introduce to people with tough teenagers -- they were a hot mess through their teens and twenties, but eventually got it together and are responsible adults! (One maybe never found a career, but did find a wife with a good job! And he's a great dad, so it all works out.)

msbelle - you are one of the most patient people I know. You are doing what is right for mac and yourself. And it's hard, and it's heartbreaking. Tons of ~ma.

Oh, msbelle, that sounds so hard. I think you're doing the right thing though.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

Well, today was ok, I guess. Mr. S insisted on daddy taking him to school, and apparently took a little while before going into the classroom. He also was still having some issues with spitting and hitting.(They called Gary at 4:30 to tell him that, but didn't say anything to me when I picked him up.)
(Of course it's going to take a little while for him to adjust. How much time the pre-school is willing to give him, I don't know)
