Dylan got himself in to some real trouble here with me, so his wonderful father conned him in to moving to WA with him. He went with promises of all these gifts, a phone, his own pc, ipod etc. So Dylan moved to WA. The first week when I spoke to him, he was really happy, then he started to be reserved. No phone yet, infact no nothing, his father would go to the pub on pay day & spent all his wage, Finally the last straw for Dylan was starting a new school, I spoke to him the day before & he was a bit excited. That night he called & he was devastated, begging to come home all the kids at the school flat out ignored him, then his wonderful father abused the living beep out of him. So his father has had enough of him, he cant deal with him, or get Dylan to do anything, had enough, pack him up & send him off ...... which I am ever so happy for . But poor Dylan, he ran from his trouble here, went to WA for a better life & got the stone cold truth. He is gonna be so emotional when he gets home & apart from fixing up all his norty doings here I also have to sort out his fathers mess. I'm not sure I know how to Dylan has had such an eye opener by going I hope he is more respectful when he comes back. I just cant believe the poor kid has had to deal with over there, he has always been a mumma's boy & he has had to deal with it all with out me there grrrrr. ( I know it probably would have taught him a good lesson, but it's so harsh)
anyway more of a whinge then anything else, if you managed to read it thank you & how do I handle the whole situation?? Does he still get punished for his doings before he went, we will have to lay down a new set of ground rules too, or do I let it all slide because of what he went through? URGH it's so hard.
