[QUOTE="JKF, post: 583865, member: 12470"] I woke up this morning to a missed call from difficult child. He tried to call late last night but I was asleep. He then called at 7 am and told me that he's "probably getting kicked out of the shelter today". I asked why and he said he didn't know and it's not his fault. I knew there was more to the story because there always is. I kept myself calm and level and told him I'm sorry to hear that and it's a shame bc they did a lot to try to help him. After I hung up with him I emailed the shelter director to find out the real story. She emailed me back and said that yes, he is in fact being asked to leave because over the last several weeks his behavior has been out of control. She said she doesn't even know where to start and that he's lucky he's not back in jail. I'm assuming that he stole something. Anyway, I then tried to call her but she didn't answer so I replied to her email and thanked her for all of her help over the last 3.5 months. I also asked if she could advise me on what to do now but I haven't heard back from her. I'm actually pretty numb. Not panicking or freaking out like I would normally do which is very surprising. Yes, I'm really disgusted and angry at difficult child and yes, I'm disappointed that he has to leave there but I'm ok. I'm not sure what will happen now. Maybe he'll get arrested? Maybe not. But I hope he uses his head and goes to either his probation officer or the office of temp assistance and tries to get help. As far as I know he never got on any medications and he's definitely mentally ill however he will never admit that. In his mind it's never ever him. Uggggh! It's such a shame that after all of the time everyone else put into helping him all of these months he's right back to square one! [/QUOTE]
