More drama from my son
Posted May26-09 at 05:52 PM by Leah
My son decided to go the Atlanta Braves baseball game with his 4 16-year old friends. My husband's first thought was not to let him, but he decided he could. We found out later that one of his buddies wanted to buy a beer and got caught, so his parents had to come to the field to get him! Ugh! I would hate that! Anyway, after the game they thought they would stop at a party. By this time, my husband called my son to find out where he was and he said he did not know, but was at a party trying to find a ride home. He made it home, and we did not ground him. The other drama is he broke up with his girlfriend of six months because he kissed another girl. The girl he kissed, ex-boyfiend, decided he want to kick my son's butt. He hit my son in the face, but my son was not injured. He called them whimpy (well actually pussy) punches. My son has been trying to get his girlfriend back. As for me, I'm on a new med called Geodon. It costs $237.00 for fifteen pills! Well I can't afford that so am having the place I go (county) pay for them. I'm still paying for my other meds until I see my psychiartrist again and get a new prescription. Those meds cost $208.00 a month! My husband is still trying to find work and has got a few jobs here and there, but not what we are use to. We have $28K to our name. I still might have to find a job and I am not looking forward to that. Well, that is all for now. Talk to you later, Leah

As a 16 year old my self I can relate to such actions of your son, however from the way I was raised, I think your son deserves some sort of punishment or just a good talking to. Preferably a talk, make it calm and relaxing so he doesn't feel offended, for the best way to prove it will be through a calm happy tone. Unfortunately, the guy who called your son a pussy isn't only a bully, sure the punch was mean, but the language is sadly a little to commonly used. So that might not have offended him, but other wise I think the best way to clear this mess up is to just have a calm family talk, maybe a board game. As for your need of medicine, I cannot relate, but I think it would be best to lay off, and maybe resort to drinking some tea, I do and it is noticeably relaxing and gets your caffeine satisfaction.Posted May29-09 at 12:43 AM by lennonbeatles

Thanks for your input lennonbeatles. Your advice is probably right, but in our family things are left unsaid. I know that sucks. Whenever I try to say something meaningful, I get kibashed..or I'm wrong. My son thinks he knows what he is doing. Of course after the altercation with the boy that hit him, he did come home in tears saying "I didn't fight back". My son has feelings which makes me proud. I just can't lecture him at this point. As far as my meds, I have been on psychiatric meds for 7 years. I can't get off them because when I do I can't function..I become delusional and hear voices. I know I shouldn't be drinking beer on these meds, but I am an alcoholic/drug addict too. It is not a fun life. I have lots of regrets and think I am a bad person for things I have done in my past. But there is hope! Thanks for your input! Leah
