If I get one more call from ss's school!!

I swear I am going to explode.  I just don't understand what is going on in this kids head.  Now he has a detention today for bullying another kid.  I know he has issues, but the thing is, he gets picked on because of his weight and stuff.  He knows how shitty it makes him feel.  Why in gods name would you do it to someone else knowing that?? 

VP is pretty sure that he is trying to get put back into in school suspension.  Seems he liked it because he got his work done and didn't have to deal with anything.  Unfortunately, it's supposed to be a punishment not a reward.  They will not put him in there because of that alone. 

Swear to god, he can't get into therapy soon enough.  Every freakin time he sees his mother bad stuff happens the next day.  And he was nly with her for 30 minutes!!

Poor kid. I feel for you.

When does the school year end?

Hang in there, the school year is almost up!  I think I'd spend this summer helping him with his social skills and therapy.  Maybe next year will be the fresh start he needs.  (((hugs)))

Because he knows it, but he also gets something out of bullying someone else. It makes him feel like he's not on the bottom of the pile. It's pretty common, actually, in bullying for there to be a "chain" of bullying like you mention going on.

Sorry your SS is having so many issues... hopefully therapy will help!

Shouldn't they call your husband?  What is his involvement in this?  Sounds like you are taking on the burden of this child pretty exclusively...which is great and all that you are willing to do that but I just hope your husband is as involved, if not more, than you are.

School should be ending soon and hopefully therapy should be starting soon.  Hang in there!

Oh, he is involved too.  He's been to the school more than once himself, and gets the same calls.  The only one that doesn't is his "mother" for lack of a better description. 

The thing is, my husband totally looses it with this stuff.  He has absolutely no patience for the bad behavior.  He sees a lot of his mother in him and hates it.  I have asked him to let me deal with this for the time being until he can get his own disappointment under control enough to have a stern conversation instead of a screaming match.  That doesn't help anyone, you know?

5 more days of school.  Then he is in for a bitter awakening.  He is not going to be sitting around all summer.  He has chores he'll be doing and I already have the summer reading list.  That will be quite a shock since he never had to do anything in the summer.
