Thanks Kat. I have taken some time off from the Board, as I deal with my anger and detachment.

How quickly things can change. No, not with my W. S14 texted me tonight asking for me to come pick him up from W (and om's) place. I immediately said I would come get, and I also asked him what was going on. All he said was that he couldn't take it anymore.

I texted W to make sure she knew I was picking up s14, and she texted back "thank you". So W was obviously happy to have me get s14 away from her.

When I picked up s14 he had his suitcase with him shocked. I followed s14's lead, he wasn't talking to me. I did ask him if he was ok, but he did not say anything. He kept pulling on a small piece of cloth between his fingers. When I asked him if had eaten dinner, he had not, and he finally started to perk up. He did tell me he wanted to stay with me for the week.

I have staid away from asking what happened. We will talk when he is ready.

I finally get to find out if I can handle getting up early, driving s14 to school (I live in a different city), and pick him up after school also. All without yelling (Lord help me - s14 is a very sound sleeper) and keeping this the safe, calm place for s14 to live.

Wish me luck.
