Oh my goodness do the teens turn 16 and instantley make thier own rules..its so bad we can not stand to even be in the same room..She left last Thursday and is staying w a friend I dont even know so when I called her she did not answer so I
called her friends mother and got b...out for my number coming up private on the mothers phone..OMG...this stinks!!
Okay we need a break but young lady if you cant let me know whats going on and you dont answer your phone than next step is I call the police for help..Wow took a sledge hammer to get that one thru her head..this isnt like Rea..adn she quit her 2 lil part time jobs she had..so sad..bc the teachers keep telling her she is only 16 and doesnt need to work yet she needs to get her education..well in our household ..which is just me and her..the income is almost poverty so she needs to do both!! She missed church too.I called the therapist and they keep saying its a teen thing ..well than explain to me why do I have 3 new holes in my walls and one hole so big it is unfixable by me..very depressing. I have NEVER been this depressed..NEVER..I thought I'd try dateing but got so depressed that I threw that idea out the window...and now I'm over eating on the wrong foods..what a mess again..geezzz....her grades are at least up to par so far but just the last few weeks I noticed a big chage in her..a BIG change...






I'm reading this & thinking "Red Alert!" Can you find a new therapist? (BTW, you were right to call the Mom. I don't understand why she'd freak out. I wouldn't, if I were her.)

I can tell you one thing. The closer James got to 16 the worse his attitude & behavior got.
He also moved in with the neighbors in back. Hard telling what he told them. It is killing me yet giving me some peace. I found two beer cans under his bed. He is still smoking with his asthma. He has taken all of his G.ED. tests. We are waiting to hear. He passed all of the pre tests so he's out job hunting. I have had to cough up child support for his room & board. Plus he buy all his school clothes & shoes & carry his medical. He is on probation. They know about it all. Said O.K. as long as he behaves & comes home when I say. Fat chance of that as long as he is having fun. Although the lady has grounded him twice. Says if she does her kids then she will him. I do like her & her family but it doesn't seem right. It isn't but Lord I have to have a break since his Mother is still in CA & has no plans to come back.
So here's to all of us . We are not perfect , we can just do the best we can.
Many hugs, Judy

The mom apologized BUT wow..left me w a bad taste..I guess the mom is very younfg like 30 yrs old and her oldest daughter already moved out so probly bc mine was able to do just what she please's over there no adults ..she hasn't been back..but than its worsen between me and Rea for our relationship..just gets that way after a while one just doe NOT want to be around them..I figure let them go run to who ever bc sooner or later that next person will not put up w the..I dont have frugs or smoking issues w her just disrespect and now I do know she wil put her hands on me..so I need to be very watchful of the cues..
