[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 661861, member: 3419"] He's not selling much of anything. Very unmotivated. I just don't understand. Well, it could be medications. Or lack thereof. Or pot. Yes, he is taking his medications. He's actually been pretty decent about it. We had a horrible therapy session the other day. Everyone was angry. husband and I left the room and somehow the therapist worked a miracle and got difficult child on speaking terms with-us again. I think they talked about being overwhelmed and how to cut things into small pieces (excuse the expression, lol!). difficult child got his first check the other day. $30. Not sure if he cashed it. It's not showing up in his bank acct. He said he cut his ex-girlfriend's mom's backyard grass and was going back to cut the front. I texted the mom but she did not text back. She has also lied about picking up her daughter at our house ... she sleeps on the couch overnight (the daughter, not the mom :) ). It is very inappropriate, regardless of the pregnancy. No boundaries anywhere. She was picked up on time tonight and last night. I have to stay on the mom's case. If she doesn't get her by 9 or so, I take her home. If it gets later than that, we fall asleep and then it's too late. I am going down right now to make sure that difficult child is off the couch. He slept in his bed last night. Finally. Ex girlfriend has been using our kitchen to practice cooking skills, too. I have no more eggs left. Grr. Like I said, no boundaries. When I leave for a bit to visit Cousin P at the nursing home, I come home and there are pots and pans all over. But the kids are getting slightly better at putting things in the sink and washing them. I also told ex girlfriend that if she leaves out food with-o wrapping it, I will throw it away. She's learning ... slowly ... Not sure if she knows that difficult child has to move out mid-June, 2016. I'm invited to her baby shower on Sat. How uncomfortable is [I]that?[/I] I'm not going, but I did buy a gift. I am making difficult child give her something, too. Just a $4.99 package with-3 plastic containers for snacks, which is all he can afford. I think he needs to see real, tangible items and make this REAL. (No, he is not invited to the shower. I just decided he had to give a small gift.) Some of the things he told me about Cutco were incorrect. It's not *quite* as bad as he made it out to be ... a few misunderstandings. But he's got to get out there and sell. It's not his kind of job. I wonder how long it will take him to give up? I called him today while I was on the road--saw a sign for a pancake place that was hiring cashiers and pkng lot attendants. He insisted he doesn't want two jobs. WANT? No choice, buddy. Drug testing next week. Psychiatrist appointment the following week. by the way, my vacation was wonderful. I needed it so badly! [/QUOTE]
