Well, judging from emails between Ss and a girl, Ss now has a friend. Its more like her asking him to hangout over the weekend and him saying ok. I should be screaming for joy right? Except the girl is bad news. Her useless mom has alcohol available in the house that the daughter gets into. She is one of those rich, cool moms. Even social services came in and gave the mom a warning. And we have struggled with Ss getting into alcohol. I have seen this girl smoking and hanging out with boys much older than her at the mall. And the girl has a reputation, let me put it that way.

I can't believe how crazy and terrible the last two days have been. Things have been the same with Ss. He refused to talk to any of us. He said a few words last week but that is about it. On Wednesday night, my Dh (not so dear anymore) came storming into our room with printed out sheets of paper. It was what Ss had been typing on his computer caught by the keylogger software. He googled "safe teen chat rooms" and even began chatting with a person.

Ss has been in the school nearly 3 weeks. But we are bringing him back Sunday. It just did not work out. It was one problem after another. The biggest issue was the washrooms, like we expected. But we thought he would adjust. He never did. He was staying up till 3 am to use the washroom. And this was after he wet himself constantly and gave himself constipation.

Ss has had a complete flip in behavior. Not completely but now I feel like his physical affection is bordering on inappropriate. After my Dh suggested sending Ss away to a therapeutic school, we had two days of silent treatment. And after the two days, Ss starts hugging Dh when he gets home. And last Tuesday, he gives my Dh a quick peck on the lips. Yesterday, the peck lingered too long for my liking. But I may have imagined it. Maybe this would have been fine if it was something they always did. Ss did this when he was 7. And he is 14 next week.
