The lads parents had a serious talk with him. His mother says he may have had an eye opening experience at the boot camp. He has a home and parents who care....many of those there don't. He now realizes he has to make some changes.
Some ground rules have bees set.....with no second chances or options ( he has used those up many times already).
First time he calls his mother a b#!*h or cusses her out....
First time he punches his fist through a wall...
First time he storms out while they are talking to him....
First time he comes home high or drunk......
................................................................He is out on the street.
And, he has to get a job.
His mother has made him appointments with community services for anger management classes, GED program, and job counseling.
I went and talked to him today and he says he still wants to straighten up his life, but just couldn't do the boot camp thing.
I told him that was OK, but he would have to do a lot of hard work to do it on his own. I went over the new family rules with him and he says he understands, but it gets hard for him to keep his cool sometimes. I explained that the anger management classes will help there, and that when he really was at his short fuse, to call me. If he needed to blow up and fuss at how life ain't fair to someone, I was his man. He can't pi$$ me off ,and I can tell him to grow up without sounding like a parent.
There is still hope for this youth. Keep praying folks.
