implosion

My mother has imploded again. I will blog about it soon. I knew it was about time--she had been far too normal for the past few months. She's cyclic like that. If we are lucky we get 2 months of pessimistic normality and then KAPOW--it's a few months of the crazies. It used to stress me out--now it is just routine. Sad for her, because I'm pretty certain the reason was attention anyhow. DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA. If things are going well, she creates something. She's only happy when the world is ending.

The Teen follwed suit. Got suspended for fighting. Really what he did was shove someone back. I wouldn't have had an issue with him defending himself, but he admits he knew it wasn't REALLY necessary AND he knew he could get suspended. Even more frustrating that I can't get him to understand that the truly superior person has the self control to not have to touch someone else--or that NOT shoving back isn't wussing out--especially if you don't necessarily back off. GAAA teenagers!!
