(((((NC)))))),
I'm so sorry for your pain. LWB is right, you are their father and they love you. They are acting out, yes, but it's not in front of you. Do you think that S7 is doing it to spend more time with you? Think about it, when he gets in trouble you have to come get him. He is suspended from the YMCA program, thus getting to spend more time with you. He doesn't realize this is a hardship on you, he just knows he gets to see Dad.

Are the boys in counseling? I can't remember. Is S7 talking taling with the school counselor? Perhaps, you need to request a conference with his teacher, counselor, and principal and see if there are solutions you all can come up with. I think it would be wise for your W to be there too.

NC, don't worry about the crying, "Real men cry". I think it is good for little boys to see their dad cry. Little boys are brought up believing men don't cry, they are seeing that daddy has emotions too.

Wish I was there to give you a big hug, I think you could use it. Since I'm not, I'm sending your a great big virtual hug...

Hugs, Yoyo
