Nope

I’m not adulting today.

Gavin is driving me crazy I have no idea what I’m going to do about him. As soon as he turned 18 he turned into a different kid. Got himself into so much trouble thinks he knows everything. I’m telling you guys it’s constant chaos with him around.

I have tried to get him into therapy (he was in it as a minor) However, now that he’s 18 I can’t do anything to “make” him go. Here’s the thing I know kids when they’re young will do stupid things we’ve all been there, so I try to talk to him and give him some slack. It’s hard to do though when he’s constantly screaming at me if I try to tell him anything. I guess it could be worse he could be eating tide pods… he’s not that I’m aware of anyway…

It’s causing Ben and I to fight like crazy because the two of us are so stressed and we’re kind of at our wits end so there’s that. Hopefully our marriage will survive this.

I have been meditating a lot that helps also I started rebounding for those of you who don’t know you pretty much jump on a indoor trampoline. It is actually a lot of fun believe it or not.

I’m trying to get Gavin to take a few college classes at the local community college he tells me he will but never follows through with it.

I’m just… I don’t even know my mind is all over the place. I keep telling myself that this is just a phase and we will get through it.

I wonder if they have support groups for parents of teens if so I need to sign up.

As much as I don’t want to I have to get to adulting.

I hope everyone in OD land has a fabulous day. Maybe my next entry will be more uplifting.. I guess I just needed to get this out.

Be well.
