Thanks for your reassurance diamondprincess. My son goes through periods, sometimes lasting days, that he refuses to speak to me or eat with me. But then when he needs a ride or something he will choose a more friendly behavior. He has said many times that he hates me and that I deserve to be treated with cruelty. His hatred for me is real but not constant. This morning I gave him a ride to the train station and he wouldn't say goodbye to me after I also made him coffee.

It's been a stressful time for both of us WC and TheSadGirl. I am hopeful that his drive to succeed in the world will get him back to a normal, active life engaging with the world rather than playing video games endlessly, just occasionally getting out with his friends. He got a shave and haircut and dresses appropriately going into work and is actually getting in before the required 9AM. He has to account for all of his time in 15 minute increments which might be helpful for his adhd.

I have also been engrossed in the rescue of those boys in a cave in Thailand. it really is a heartwrenching drama.

I had a ct scan for surveilling cancer on Tuesday and now have to wait 2 weeks to find out if I am still all clear from my oncologist. It's a long wait.

Once my son gets his own apartment, he will be happier.
