Eggshells or Shoes?

Around here the fun never ends.  We’re either walking on eggshells or waiting for the other shoe to drop.  The latest episode, on top of ongoing passive-aggressive behavior about grades is DH missing $5.00 from his wallet.  RADKid is undoubtedly guilty and undoubtedly thinks he got away with it.  We’re just waiting for the escalation.  It’s a great feeling.  Undoubtedly the fact that we haven’t heard from the police about the stolen property we turned over last month has The Kid thinking he got away with it.  He’s above the law.  He’s a rebel.  It’s an ego trip that is not going to end well.

Another great feeling is called “completely unsupported”.  We’re in a position where the incompetent therapist wants an Individualized Education Plan but the school can’t grasp the severity of the Reactive Attachment problem – because our kid exhibits the classic “compliant when it suits him” symptoms.  He stays out of trouble at school which makes our problems elsewhere more pronounced.  He’s got an alliance of teachers, counselors and other educators that don’t see what the problem is so they won’t be part of the solution.
