journalizing/venting:

Recieved a very ominous call from S11. He is so miserable there. Apparently, his grades are rather lack luster, I haven't personally seen them yet.

But he says he just does not want to live there. That if he told me half the things that go on there, I'd "never let him return". He said "it's so wrong, I look up at "mom's room and see her and him, and it's so wrong".

Apparently, XW went nuts one night and "drove nails" in their door frames so the boys couldn't close thier doors all the way. WTF?!?!?!?

Then, OM is barking at him to get in the shower. Ugh.

He just wanted me to come get him.

I played it calm and rationalized his problems in school and concentrating, afterall, I was him. I also assured him, I'm "coming home, soon". He took comfort in that, but even said, no matter how crampt it is here, he'd rather be here, not there.

I again told him, there's no shame in getting help. He's still afraid. All I could say was that if he talked to someone, he'd feel better, and if there is a real problem, it's the job of whomever is listenign to say something to the right people to get you out of there and make it better.

another call.
