My DS(12) had his court date yesterday for the vandalism he and his friend caused a few months ago. He is on probation for one year. He has a juvenile probation officer. He has to write apology notes to everyone whose property he damaged. He has to pay ½ of the damages incurred. He has to continue talking with our family counselor and he has to get a psychiatric evaluation. Yes, the punishment does seem pretty harsh for a first offense at his age, but maybe he will learn.
So, I sent my ex (his father) an e-mail explaining what had happened. A few hours later he calls my daughter (16). He asked her about what had happened in court. Why is he calling her? She wasn’t even in court, she was at school. Why didn’t he call me? He is currently in Japan. Although I know is cell phone number, he does not get service there. So, I have no way of getting in touch with him. Which is why I sent him an e-mail.
After she tells him what she knows, he starts bad-mouthing me and my husband. How we didn’t try to get my son out of trouble (because we didn’t hire a lawyer). How we talked with the prosecutor about things he didn’t need to know (how my son is angry, he has a temper, he likes to play with fire, etc.) and made it much worse. DUH! YOU MORON-they already knew these things because they had talked with our family counselor.
Then, to top things off, he starts on my daughter. He told her she was to blame for what her brother did because she egged him on. I do not know whether on not this is true (she claims she didn’t), but he is 12 years old, he should know the difference between right and wrong. My ex keeps digging himself a huge whole with her. Before last night she stated she did not want to go with him for his 2 weeks this summer. My husband thinks because I have finally stood up to my ex, he is now going to start on my daughter. He is in for a rude awakening because she is not at all like me. She will tell him where to get off!
