I had a long talk with Mom J today.  They are at wits end with Older Boy.

Since the pool "mishap" earlier this week things have continued to go downhill.

His DD team was in their home earlier this week and he now requires 24/7 supervision.  This will include nighttime supervision for him, because they consider him capable of becoming a runaway.  This will mean another full-time night worker in their home.  They already have a night nurse for Middle Brother. 

While they agree with the assessment it is still hard to know that you are going to have ANOTHER person in your home 60 hours per week.  She is struggling with it being a relief and the logistics of it.

Older Boy is still convinced he should just go to the juvenile detention center.

His DD team decided they can't trust him to be the student manager of the high school football team, because they don't want him in the locker room.  He is not handling it well. 

When I think about Older Boy I wonder if he has the ability to make the right decisions when impulse control is involved.  I know he is capable, but he isn't there yet.

Once he found out about all of the new restrictions he chose to regress in other areas of life.  He announced that it was going to happen so they know it is a choice.

Keep praying for them.  Forever we will be their family.  I am raising the brother of their adoptive daughter and guardian son.  Pray for peace in their home.
