Where do we go from here Part 2

[TimR]

Well I got some sleep and am reaching out to the school to get some help for S13. I wish I could do something for S16 as well but I cannot think for the life of me what it would be that would not get back to WW. Like I said S13 told me WW is even worse to him. That poor kid is 16 and at a very pivotal age, with problems, especially emotional, he is at higher risk for dropping out (his grades have always been bad), teen pregnancy, drugs and suicide. I would think WW would recognize this but unfortunately she does not care about anything but herself at this point, who knows if she ever will again. However, I cannot think of anything I can do for S16 and be behind the scenes that she will not recognize as me. (I just wrote that sentence and it sounds as though I am trying to manipulate, if it appears to anyone else the same, please call me out on it).

S16 has always been mom's protector. I admire the kid for that, but it should not have to be at the expense of his own well being. Yet if I follow through with the school for him, it will get back to WW. If she finds out I am positive she will withhold S13 from me, doing even more damage to him.

I also thought about child services but they would speak with him and he would deny anything. Of course she would know this came from me and well see above.

This week I have a meeting with counselor, so maybe he could have some suggestions that I have not thought of. Needless to say I feel like I am in a hole struggling to get out.

Any ideas?
