Quick Post
All heck broke loose last night! I had just written about my son when later in the day, he gets all mad because his dad asked him to turn down the TV. He begins to yell that the only reason he wants him to turn it down is because it's hip hop. Not true. A little later he left without telling anyone where he was going. He's been told over and over and asked over and over not to do that, to let someone know where he is going.
We had already decided to clean his room ourselves because it was horrible. He had soured milk in cups; food under his bed and in his closet, his dresser drawer was full of empty soda bottles. You name it and he had it in his room. He comes back in the middle of this and starts to throw a fit saying his dad never had tried to discipline him in all this time, why try now. He goes out to the trash, gets the bag we've sacked from his room and empties all that disgusting stuff right in the middle of his room. This really ticks his dad off and instead of making his son pick it up; he does and tells him to go live with his mom. Eventually, the argument became physical when my son shoved his dad. They scuffled around and thankfully, no one was hurt.
Now my husband is telling him he's had enough, he can go live with his mom. My son starts saying he doesn't want to live here anyway, that his dad has never done anything about the way he's (son) has behaved and why start now. Son is cussing and saying terrible things and so is his dad (except his dad didn't cuss.)
Last night ended with Son going to stay all night with a friend. We already had an appointment Thursday for a drug test, physical and emotional evaluation. Son says he does not want to live here. I don't know what is going to happen, but now my husband feels like he did something wrong. The way I see it, the only thing he did was to make threats he had no intention of carrying out (such as, Go live with your mother.) My son knows his dad doesn't do anything he threatens. Son says that is why he acts how he does because his dad has never gotten onto him and made it stick for anything.
Ah well. It was upsetting to say the least.
