It seems that his Dad is determined to emotionaly abuse DX in whatever situation occurs. Last night, there was some trouble at his house & the police were called by neighbours. DX went outside to confront the gang of youths & they ran off when the cops arrived. DX's Dad accused DX of having something to do with the incident (even though he was in his room at the time), then informed the police to question DX about the incident. DX told me that he was given a warning by the cops. WHY??? He'd done nothing wrong. Unfortunately, his answer is to retaliate to show these kids that they can't get away with this unprovoked attack. But that will not solve the problem. On other notes, it has strengthened his Dad's arguement to get rid of DX from the house. I have discussed this with DX & my partner also agrees that he can stay with us of the worst happens. I have also mentioned to him the option of moving down with us to where I work when we move home. He will think about this, but for the time being I have asked him if he would like to move down with me, an option he is considering, but I will start looking for places off camp when I go back. He may not rightly give 2 hoots about his Dad, but he does care about his Mum who is dependant on medication. I personally can't see why she couldn't move down as well, cause Dad'll probably start on her if DX leaves (something he is also worried about). I have left the thoughts & suggestions with him, as its quite a big thing for him to deal with. He left for dinner before I went out 2nite & will return later. The missus said "Why go home for dinner, there's plenty in the freezer". He replied "But my mum has cooked" so he went home. I'm really worried about DX he is a long-term yf. I've known him for close to 4 years now. Last Dec (01), when I originally heard that his Dad might kick him out when he reached 16 I said to him, that I'd do everything in my capabilities to help him if that happened. So I can't really let him down, I have to try. At least the gf is on my side now, cause 4 years ago she didn't want me seeing him. Halo |
