Almost, Wow, Alexis Colby? MIL ain't that attractive!

Trapt & Cat, Thanks for your advice. I am NOT doing this to keep H from going out. It is bc I feel that, as the mother, I should at least get the respect of making a decision in what my children do & don't do. MIL is already taking them on vacation for 1 week beginning of Aug so I think it's going a little overboard to have them stay this past weekend at her house. She only lives 5 minutes away - she can see them whenever she wants w/o having them spend the night.

Journaling...H is getting stranger by the day...it is so gradual, I wonder if I am just imagining things...but I know better, he is morphing into a teenager before my very eyes...

He no longer does ANY household chores...he will mow the lawn, do a project, etc (but only things that keep him busy & away from me)...no day to day things. If he eats at the coffee table, his dirty plate will just stay there until I get it. If he has a couple of beers out on the deck, they stay out on the deck.

He no longer tells me when he is leaving or says good-bye...he just goes. When he goes to bed, he doesn't say goodnight, he just goes upstairs. We went to church, I sat too close, he stood up & moved another foot away. He does NOT try to fake that there are no problems. He doesn't care who knows (or at least his actions make me think this - who knows MLC crazy).

An old college friend of ours came to say overnight last night (male). H had been playing bball when friend arrived, when H came home, he just said hi to friend. No friendly usual hug. Drove friend in his car to get beer, friend said H fish tailed car in some gravel & started driving 60+ mph (in a 40) around a really windy road. Friend was scared.

I'm thinking the bomb must have been dropped earlier than most in my sitch...that's why I thought he was a WAH for so long...not so much anymore
