    gaming disorder

    https://www.techworm.net/2018/01/classifies-video-gaming-addiction-disorder.html I've known Ferb had an intractable gaming addiction for years. It seems that now the mental health gurus finally agree with me.

    Ferb has a new "Mom" and it's

    One of his friends who is actually a year younger than Ferb. They have been friends since preschool. This young man, I will call him "Bob," is happily for me, one of the most clear thinking friends Ferb has. Ferb still has no job but is living with Bob and his family. Bob's parents are the...

    what do you do for your difficult child for Christmas?

    I can't even talk to Ferb. He hasn't paid his cell phone bill, so the only communication we have is through email. I have no idea what he will be doing after he is forced out of his dorm on Saturday. He used up all his meals on the food plan. I don't think he has any money. I would like...

    Son has given up on college

    My son, the master manipulator, has given up on college. We learned that he hadn't even attended his chemistry class for the past month. We gave him an ultimatum that he would need to get a C in that class in order to continue to take classes. This week, he skipped his chemistry exam. He's...

    sensory overload

    We moved over the summer, and I still don't have a steady job. I have been doing substitute teaching and for the most part it has been going well. The hard part for me is not knowing anyone and having a bunch of names dumped on me in a short period of time. On Tuesday, I was subbing in the...

    Son proudly told us he is a sociopath

    I don't know whether his introductory psychology class has gone to his head or if he really thinks this is true of himself. Candy and I went to see Ferb at his dorm over the week-end. He was very chatty which he typically is not. First he asked me to buy him toilet paper.:rolleyes: Then he...

    my step-father died

    No condolences are necessary. I have been waiting for years for troll to pass. Several months ago I explained to my mom that if he died first, I would not be able to attend his funeral. His son is best friends with my ex-husband who stalked me. I cannot and will not open up that can of...

    and the teacher was sentenced to . . .

    One year for each of two counts of a misdemeanor. One year of her time was suspended. She is currently serving time in the local pokey. SO believes she will serve 6 months. She had an extremely good attorney. I don't know if 6 months away from Ferb is enough to break her hold on him. :groan:

    You know you're in a small town when . . .

    My significant other, my daughter and I have moved from Richmond (which is a reasonably sized area) to a very small county. It's the least populated county in Virginia. I have already been warned that I will always be considered an outsider. We have been noting some interesting differences...

    a pleasant phone call

    Yesterday was Ferb's birthday. I thought about asking him to call me but decided against the intrusion. This morning I texted him twice. Once to warn him that the news is reporting a possible rally on the order of the Charlottesville rally in his area on Saturday. The second time was to let...

    Locked out

    We traveled back to the old house to pack up a bunch of crap in preparation for moving the rest of the furniture. I had told Ferb not to bring his girlfriend (choke) to our house anymore. You know, the woman who used to be his teacher just 2 1/2 months ago but is now jobless and in a funk...

    I'm not allowed to tell anyone

    in real life this but Rozzy (the cat) is taking a nap on the bed with SO (significant other). SO says he hates cats but I hear him talking to her all the time. I think she has won him over, but he will never admit it.

    off to college and lying up a storm

    Ferb is out of the house. He continues to lie about the stupidest things. What floor his dorm room is on. What his check-in time is. Today he lied about using his campus card to get food. He has stupidly been buying his food. Why? Why do that and why lie about it? He has court on...

    and now we have weed in the house

    :nono: Yet another rule broken. Another boundary crossed. Candy and I returned from the farm yesterday to a mess. Ferb had weed paraphernalia all over his room. Before I had only seen one lonely lighter. Someone had left my hairbrush on the bathroom counter. I doubt it was Ferb. And...

    the air is clearer

    I couldn't take the secrecy anymore. I sat Ferb down and had a talk with him about Mrs. W. He understands that the police will question him. He listened to me about her and her "issues". He doesn't fully grasp how pitifully sick this woman is, but that is due to his age. He is ready to end...

    need some collective wisdom

    I am scheduled to head back to the farm today leaving Ferb at the other house alone for 5 days. Knowing what is happening, or at least part of it, is indeed making me ill. If I chose to stay here for a few extra days, Mrs. W would likely stay away. I am also somewhat concerned that the police...

    trying hard not to do something regrettable

    I had a conversation yesterday with Ferb about the arrest of this teacher. He told me he and his friends were "sad to hear about it because we like her. She's a really nice teacher." I explained why teachers should not have relationships with students. He agreed. o_O That's as far as I...

    Score one for karma- teacher arrested

    That nasty teacher has been arrested for, surprise, sex with a minor and soliciting sex through the internet. The story is all over our local news. Ferb is not talking with me about it yet, but I know he was her teacher. I reached out to him in an unforceful and loving way. Perhaps with...

    input on this yukky teacher situation please

    As many of you know, I have been watching and waiting and observing this ongoing situation between Ferb and his teacher. I have been collecting evidence all along. I believe they continue to have an inappropriate relationship. I suspect it is a sexual relationship although I have no...

    how often do you talk to your difficult "child" now adult?

    I'm just curious. I think all relationships have to find a pattern which is comfortable for the people in them. Ferb does not want to share his life with me anymore. The positives are that he is working, taking care of the cat while we are at the farm, seeing his doctor and taking his...
