Damn kid

So, I am pretty irked at the kid. She says he was busy and didn't need to be bothered, and she didn't want him to spend the trip and time....

I'm disappointed that he told me yes, and then didn't comply....

She says "He didn't want you to be mad at him..."

yeah, right.

Reality is he doesn't have the fortitude to go and face his mother when she's dysphoric.

She said she was crying so hard on the phone with him that he couldn't understand her....

What kind of kid DOESN'T go on out to his mother's when that happens....

The scars of childhood are what they are, but come on. Buck it up and put it aside for something like this.....

In fact, as I think about it, it's really quite tragic that even though I called him Thursday before noon and told him that I really thought since his mom had gotten into such a bad state of mind, and aggravated from the power outage, and such.... that it would be really kind of him to run out there after work to check on her and engage her a bit.

Again, he agreed.... then, made or kept other plans.

I've always had issues with this kid not keeping his word, agreeing, etc, etc. and then doing what he pleases....

damn, damn kid.
