With the problems with my son Carl, now I have got bad news with my wife. She went to the doctor last Wednesday. They found a lump in her breast and now have scheduled surgery for this coming Tuesday. The doctor assures us that it will be a routine procedure. Ohhh I hate when routine is used. That is when attention to detail gets forgot about. <br /><br />For Carl? What an idiot. He was court ordered to do 10 hours community service, submit minimal of 3 tests a week to his school, and to quit smoking pot.<br /><br />He has failed to submitt is tests on the basis of the courts decesion and failed to complete his community service. He has admitted to me he still smokes pot and brags on him passing his urine tests.<br /><br />I have emailed, called, and dropped off messages at the probation officer to let him know Carl still does not care about the courts ruling.<br /><br />He is starting on new meds this coming week. I just hope it doesn't keep him zombiefied like the present meds are. They make him sleep about 18 hours in a 24 hour period. He has no motivation, self esteem, and doesn't care about anything except how to have fun with his friends.<br /><br />5 more months to go. I think he is headed to the detention hall this time. He has been slapped on the hands 3 times now and has become prone to thinking nothing is going to happen to him. <br /><br />He no longer has his car, drivers license, vidio games, limited use of the computer for school, only allowed to receive calls from selected friends, and no more smokes from me or his step mom. What a mess this is. He only has one thing he is dead set on and that is to do what he wants to regarless who tells him what he must do.<br /><br />Our relationship has drifted apart mainly to me enforcing my rules and standing my ground. I know he hates me now, but I know it is going to be the key thing to turn him around eventually.<br /><br />Sorry for being long winded, just had to vent some and keep those that care informed of what has been happeining. Thanks
