Sucks, but you are totally being a great parent by enforcing the rules. He knew the consequences, and messed up anyway. So now he'll learn a lesson.
When I was in 8th grade (for some reason that was my "rebellious" year), I did a couple things like that. My dad did the same stuff, and I was so mad at him at the time. But I realized a few years later, I think he was an awesome dad, he was really being a good, loving parent as you're being.
U2....tomorrow night.....Georgia Dome......I'm beyond excited about it!
The persian restaurant with the hooka lounge is out though. They don't open early enough for us to get there and get the concert before Muse opens for U2. NOT missing Muse either. LOVE THEM!
I think we decided on an Irish pub that is in the area. Yeah,silly, I know...Irish band, Irish pub....we're pretty corny.

I haven't had any time to post anything about my C session yesterday afternoon. Suffice it to say that after that session I needed the quantity of beer that was consumed last night!
Very painful. We went over the first page and a half of the letter. When she took it out there was red pen marks all over it. I jokingly asked her if I got an F as she seemed to have been a little harsh with the red ink. She smiled slightly and shook her head at me. Her favorite phrase seemed to be 'stinkin thinkin' yesterday. I told her I knew that, but it was feelings that I harbor and I had to get them out of my head. She said that was right but that they are so entrenched that it's going to take quite a lot of time to do that. Exhausting in general.
I did realize something while talking to her though. My lack of self-esteem didn't happen after the rape, it was already there before that. It's been festering since I was probably around 10 years old. I was teased a lot in school because I was one of the 'gifted' students (whatever the heck that means!) and because I wasn't rail thin like all of my classmates. It was rough, but not unlike anything the every other kid faces. Why it became such a part of me I don't understand. It must have something to do with my personality. How do you change your personality? How do you overcome your very nature?
Guess that's what I'm supposed to learn to do, right? I hope that whoever I end up being after all the head shrinking is someone that can be more positive and open.

That's good that your C sessions are already making new revelations on things, that shows strong sign that potentially a lot of other issues that have transpired will show their true source as well.

As far as the C, it will take time to change some things, esp. if they have been a part of your makeup for a long time. But the fact that you want them to change, is huge. That will help tremendously....
Marc took a good step in the right direction last night. I'm praying he can get this accomplished!
Marc as been a brown/black belt in karate for 1.5 years now. His studio only tests for black belt 2 times per year. The myriad of tests he has to pass boggle my mind, but he's been working toward this 4 years now. He has trouble with the 10 minute drill and the mile run more than anything else.
Last night he passed his mile run for the first of two required times. Has to run a mile in under 10 minutes. He did it in 8:43. If he could have done it under 8 then he would only have had to do it once, but now he has to do it again.
The 10 minute drill is hell itself! 100 push ups,100 sit ups, and 500 balance kicks in under 10 minutes. The push ups kick Marc's butt. He has to pass that twice too.
All of that has to be done by next Saturday because that is the first pre-test and he has to have passed these things before he will be allowed into that. Oh gosh....I'm stressed for him!
I already told him that if he doesn't pass this time that he won't be able to get his black belt because I can't afford another year of karate. $115 a month is A LOT of money when you're scraping to keep the lights on.
Pray for him please! He needs all the help he can get!
