Thanks for the warning BM. I'm under no illusion with S17. He has hoodwinked me waaaaaaaaaaaay to many times before. I'm not letting this drop. He doesn't have to continue with college if he really doesn't like it BUT he can't do nothing.
He didn't go to college again yesterday. I had a day off using up annual leave before the end of the financial year. I asked him to come for a walk in the local park with me. I once read that if you want to get through to men (albeit young ones) you should walk and talk at the same time as they find it less threatening. It seemed to work as I was able to carry on the convos we've been having recently without him kicking off. I treated him to a coffee and a bun and it cost me an arm and a leg!
He was working again last nightr and even though I had an evening out myself I still planned to pick him up. I was driving anyway so it didn't spoil my night. The timings ended up working really well so I didn't end up waiting hours for him like I have done in the past.
Today it is XHs birthday. D14 accepted a card I had made to give to him as she realised it saved her some money. I hadn't made it specifically for him. I've been making a few cards and selling them at work for charity so it was one of those that just fitted the bill. D14 is having lunch with XH and OW + baby siter. S17 is at work but plans to go later to see hs dad. He has told me that for today at least he does not intend going back to stay with XH. D19 just rang to ascertain if it was XHs bday. She was torn between sending a txt and ringing him just to be civil. Sad but a sign of how she really feels about him.
