'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, here's hoping he gets his shit together with a quickness.
Even if he doesn't, does it help to know that all the kids I knew who were a mess at that age eventually got their shit together? And mostly did it outside of their parents' house? I know a lot of people who couldn't deal with anything at that age, some of whom wasted their parents' money on some college (but not a degree!), some of whom didn't. They all became adults!
I'm so sorry, msbelle. Is he seeing a therapist? I know my depression as a teenager often manifested anger and indecision.
Yes, what Jesse said. I know so many people, including myself, that were total screwups at that age. And grew up to be fine adults!
He has no older person that he hangs out with that could be a safe landing place. He has $41 and no job. There is no girlfriend with understanding parents who like him. None of his friends even had plans to move out of their parents' home and none of them have the means. I am sure he can spend 1-2 nights somewhere, but this without a doubt ends up with him back here or me being called to get him somewhere.
No he's not in therapy. He has refused for 3-4 years.
When he finds out he has no place to crash he may be more open to a renegotiation of terms.
Timelies all!
I'm sorry it's come to this, msbelle.
Crap. Minor whinge: I have a conference call in the morning with JCP and I spent all day today getting Amazon's vendor portal updated and have no more brain cells left to prep my report for the call. Bah. The only thing I can think to do is come in early and that's gonna suck.
Aw, man, I just heard John Singleton died. Sad. So young!
msbelle, you've been a rock in the face of unfair winds for mac, and that he fails to see that, or to even try to find his feet with your help is not something you can accept blame for.
I'm sending strength and every kind of good vibe I can to you, and every impulse to awareness and responsibility to mac.
Every possible good wish.
I'm sorry this is happening msbelle. I hope mac smartens up soon.
