I'm so ANGRY right now. 

Middle Boy has been on this almost continual mantra telling me he is putting forth full effort in school right now.

This morning I got THREE emails telling me about missing work.  In one class he hasn't turned anything in since the first week of the semester.

I'm defeated.  He's a liar.  It's really that simple.  I am sure somehow this is not his fault, but mine.

I no longer know what to say to him or do.  He truly doesn't care about consequences (thank you RAD) or rewards (again...thank you RAD).  He doesn't care if I am disappointed, because he doesn't trust me anyway.  No empathy (thanks again RAD).

I'm so very frustrated with him right now.
