i feel like giving up
Just when it seems that I have made headway with one of my sons, the pieces fall apart with the other one.
Aaron and I have been talking. We have been trying to be respectful of each other's feelings and moods. Aaron is my oldest son. He is a carbon-copy of myself. You'd think that would help us get along, but it just makes us fight even more. But lately, we haven't been fighting.
I've been working on letting go.
He's been working on trying to gauge my mood before he approaches me.
He asks me how my day was each afternoon when he comes home from school. He says "I love you" every night, and asks me if he can have a hug.
Yeah, that's my 17 year old. The one that will be going to college in August.
My youngest, that's Cameron. He's 14.
He seems to be in a perpetually bad mood. He's up and he's down. I really think that he is Bipolar - psychotic to the extreme. He is fascinated with fire - has started a few - has hidden lighters and matches in his bedroom. We have to lock up the one lighter that we keep for lighting the woodstove.
He is not nice to the animals - especially if he is in a bad mood.
The three signs of a sociopath. The only thing that he is missing is bed-wetting.
He runs around screaming like an idiot whenever he is playing outside. He does things, and when we ask him why he did it, we always get a "I don't know....."
What sparks my intense feelings tonight is that he just threatened to run away.
I can't go through this again. I don't know what to do.
