I wake up this morning and the kid is still bitchy with me, but he's agreed to go talk to this helper at the mental health center. Then by the afternoon, he's a completely different person, happy, mellow and relaxed. This roller coaster is killing me. What can I do? What should I do for him?
Hell if I know. And I mean that sincerely. In my life the harder I tried to control things the farther and harder my train jumped the track. After a while I would think long and hard about what I should do and do the opposite because my well thought out plans just got me into more trouble.
ReplyDeleteIt's true... the more I try to keep things above water, the faster I sink.
DeleteWow. This is so hard because you have no leverage. I remember he did really well with Supportive Services and I'm wondering how much he values the car? I think I'd start with telling him no more $$$ without full financial disclosure. What exactly does he want at this time, Bess? What is he proposing?
ReplyDeleteI do wish he'd get on some mood stabilizers.
You and DH have to be exhausted.
Yesterday, boy had a pretty good day. He finally met with the Integrated helper, and she must have known what to say to him. He told me he needed to contact his med provider and see if she has any cancellations so he can get in and talk about his meds, so that's something. Today could be completely different...it ties my stomach in knots just thinking about it. I guess I could use the car as leverage if I take it away from him. It's in my name, so I can't stop paying on it or my credit is fucked. God, he needs something more or different than what he's on.
DeleteI could use a mood stabilizer the size of a hockey puck
