So, turns out raising a 13 year old is not going to be easy. We recently began homeschooling and all seems to be well at the moment. All the trouble he got into has me a little scared. I'm worried that the kids he got in trouble with are going to get mad with us for pressing charges against them for the damages they caused. We've changed the locks on the doors because I'm afraid one of them could have gotten our house key and made a copy. The locks we have on our doors now are unpickable. Even the locksmith could pick them when we locked ourselves out the other day. I feel secure about that. I'm just scared one of them is going to throw some flaming piece of something through Mikey's window during the night. Maybe I'm being overly paranoid. In reality, those kids probably haven't give a second thought to what they stole from my home. That's not to mention the damage to my oven door or the truck. I feel a little bit bad for Mikey. All he wanted  was to have some friends. They took advantage of him because he is tender-hearted and trusting. I joined the Elmore County Homeschool Organization (ECHO). I'm hoping Mikey will be able to meet some good kids his age through this. We are thinking about signing him up for Taekwondo. We'll have to see. His shrink (whom we are no longer see--that's a whole other story) prescribed a med called Abilify to help him organize his thoughts. I have his pediatrician looking at the medicine and his test scores from the shrink's office to see if he thinks he really needs this stuff. The med will cost $60 per month. Ouch. Taekwondo will be $65 per month. It's going to be either or so we are waiting to see what Doc has to say. Maybe he can find him something else to take. I really don't have any faith in Dr. Hall and Dr. Smith (the shrinks). They only talked to him twice and only did one test and, boom, put him on meds that quick. It doesn't feel right. Anyway, I feel a little better now after my rambling.
