All he wants to do is play lacrosse this summer. He works out at outlr gym and practices a chart of things the coach assigned over the summer, and plays on a travel team for summer. He will sometimes also go lift while i work out or do a class. Physically he is in great condition.

He surrounds himself with friends. I talked to his best friends mom last night, the boys were "celebrating his clean drug test". She says her son tells her s15 F'n hates his dad, cannot stand him. She think inshould drag his buttt to counseling and take away all privileges, phone, driving, if he wont comply.

I do not feel that's going to work with him as well as my criend seems to think. I dont want him to become desperate to escape. I think he needs one parent who treats him like a human being.

My IC has met s15, we had two appointments with her to learn to stop bullying (s15 AND H) and have family meetings with ground rules. He was ok but quiet the first time. The second he pretende to fall asleep and was quite rude to ic. I believe like mc if you dont want what they offer it is unproductive if not potentially harmful to go.

But s15 did open up to the drug counselor, a little bit. She asked him to tell me w how he was feeling and he said he could not. He gave her permission to tell me herself.

Poor kid. I remember hating my mom and dad at his age.

My ic has said at some point if he can tell his dad how he feels, that will help the most.
