Well it was a long weekend. Cody spent two days in his room due to a not so lovely day at school on Friday. I just don't get this kid. He is so smart but the kid just has no "street" sense. He is gonna learn one day. So it was quiet here. Sue finally got a night off. I thought she had to work so I went in to wake her up at 10, when she tells me she is staying home with me. It was nice to watch TV with a warm body next to me.
Today we are going out to finish shopping and etc. I am packing for both trips, the first one we are driving. But then we will fly to Mt. I will post before I go to Ks.
All for now...any pointers on a spoiled, confused, angry child please share. Let me note, he is very angry at his dad for trying to take him. Cody is happy here, he has a good life with us.

Cody is in that in-between age, where he KNOWS right from wrong, but is lashing out (at his dad, you, Sue, etc) because he wants to rebel. Remember, he didn't "have" a life when he lived with dumbass. He never played. He never was allowed to be a child! So he's having a hard time adjusting to all this freedom, it sounds like. I hope he realizes his dad will ALWAYS be his dad & he's not a monster ~ he just isn't equipped to be a GREAT father. I hope with therapy, he will calm down & accept things the way they are. He's beyond smart. He does need a good male role model, though. Someone to kick him in the butt sometimes. :)
Take him to DC or John. LOL

I agree with Marianna. I found with my own experience of my youngest (now 19) she's alot of anger issues, to everyone. And is in councelling,I'm praying that she'll keep going.
All we can do is the best we can, and in the end they will realize exactly which parent was there for them, and which one played the game etc....When they get old enough they will decide. It's a tough thing all around.
He is in counceling now, and I hope it helps. He says he likes talking to someone that is all to himself.
Thats a good start. it really helps that he likes it too. Mine fought it the first few times.
It good to get counceling, and he likes talking, its not easy expressing yourself , whether a child and adult, hell, I go to counceling lol, so does miranda, so does her kid, lol hey wait, are we all normal, dunno....lol..anyways amy pleasure to meet ya, Im the better half of two evils lol j/k
We could all use some counseling. It will do Cody some good. We've discussed this before and I don't understand why HE is so angry. We had the same parents but our childhoods seemt to have been so different. Wish he would go to counseling. Kind of funny that I'm closer to my sister in law than I am my own brothers. Hang in there. Cody and Andy are going to grow up to be fine young men regardless of who their fathers are!
I don't have kids, but I do have nieces and nephews... the one thing that is great - is that he knows what he wants... At his age, that's rare.
I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season!
