October 26, 2009 — I can't remember when I have been as angry as I am right now. I mean really angry. For a long time now my youngest son has been on a path to self destruction. Strong words huh? Well it is the truth. He quit school (finally went back and graduated this summer), got into drugs which he was doing long before he quit school, made really bad choices in his friends, got into serious trouble with the law, and so much more.
He has absolutely no respect for anything. He uses people constantly for his own selfish needs and this is where I am drawing the line. Wanda and I have tried to help him in many ways, but with all of that he has consistently shown that he does not care what we think or feel just as long as he gets his way. Wanda has gone out on a limb to help him get a job, something he sorely needs, where she works and now he is trashing that. How is that you say? Well he went to work when scheduled for about two weeks, but when he started getting money in his pocket he has shown up late for work or called in. He did that today so he could go with his friends to a concert. He also failed to follow through with something I had asked him to do for me today...all because he wanted to be with his friends.
Well that's it for me and Wanda. He will not disrespect her. Her reputation at work has been laid on the line for him and he cares not a bit for that. It is time for tough love...I guess. It is time to say to him that since he does not want to take responsibility for himself and his actions then it is time for us to say that we can't help you anymore. This will be hard for me...it is not something I like doing with my children, but I cannot go on with him like this. Yes, it's time for tough love...it's what really matters!
