This is life as we know it now

  • Mood:
  • Pray for: Jaxon, Tyler, George, Mike and Hudson

I haven't been able to bring myself to blog for a few days.  The situation with Mike has consumed me.  All 3 of us actually.  But we have come to terms to let him go. 

We did find out that Mike's girlfriends grandma called him in sick to school.  Mike's mom called in a little while afterwards and got the whole thing cleared up as far as letting them know it wasn't her that called.  Mike received one day of in school suspension in which he is serving today.

Mike's mom also went over to the grandparents house to try to work all this out and they told her that they have already been to the police station and there is nothing we can do about it.  Which is true....in our state Mike can move out as long as he can support himself at 17.  I guess the state looks at if another family can support him that is justified. 

Mike's mom said the grandparents home is discusting and they are not well kept people themselves.  How nasty that Mike prefers that over what he had.  Mike's mom also changed the locks on her home so that he can't be going into her house when she is not there.  Luckily Mike does not have a key to our home. 

Apparently while Mike's mom was at the grandparents home Mike and his girlfriend were sitting on the couch eating and he never even acknowledged his mom being there.  Never spoke a word to her. 

I can't stand to look at pictures of him.  Especially the one on his Myspace.  The picture of him on the Myspace is him today and that is NOT the Mike I know. 

I have not slept through the night in about a week.  I can't even begin to try to go to sleep until at least 1:00 A.M.  I know Mike's mom is on the fence about being strong and giving in.  She misses the boy she raised but doesn't want the boy Mike has become to be the one that comes back home. 

I am so ticked at him because I look back at all the things his parents and I have done for him since I met him about 7 years ago and he has zero respect for his us today.  He is completely ungrateful. 

In the week that he has been at the grandparents house he has 300 points worth of assignments at school that he just didn't do.  He has an F, 2 D's and two C's that are close to becoming D's.  It is absolutely pathetic.

I have been planning Mike's high school graduation party for months.  I have already bought decorations for it but I seriously doubt we will get to end up having one for him.  My husband has already said that if Mike does not call us and his mother nor start turning himself around we are not going to go through with the graduation plans. We were going to give him a nice amount of money for his graduation present.  But we are not going to be a hand out either.  If he doesn't talk to us between now and then the money will be put back and saved until he "comes to".  The same goes with his birthday money which is 3 days before graduation.

My husband keeps telling me to not let all this consume me and to quit getting upset about it.  He tells me that Mike has made his choice and now he has to live with it. 

That is all I can do for today.  I am going to work on getting myself out of this funk I am in from all of it. 

I do want to take a moment and thank you for the prayers for Jaxon and to ask for them to keep coming.  Jaxon is doing so good!!!  He is going to be moved out of PICU within days.  PTL!!!!

I have not got around to my favorite friends blogs.  I hope to get to do that soon as well.
