| My name is Lee guardian, mother and advocate for my son.. Many of you know "him" and if you've never met him, you've probably heard of him. The boy I know loves to help with the dishes, is easily forgiving and uses his manners. He'll give away his favorite baseball glove just to make a friend. He'll rush to do his homework with little prodding and complete it quickly with few mistakes. He'll clean up his room, make his bed and put his dirty clothes in the laundry room. He'll remind me not to lift anything too heavy until dad get's home, put his dishes in the sink after dinner and scold me for not eating more protien. He'll defend his little sister to any friends that dare challenge him and offer to help with the trash. When Dr. Jekel has his good days, they're good....really good. Then again, the boy you know may have been Mr. Hyde and on Mr. Hydes days they're bad... ...really bad. Instead of using his manners and helping with a chore he'll scream, "You can't tell me what to do!!", or maybe," I hate you, you Bi***!!". Instead of giving away a toy to make a friend , he'll steal a toy then run away taunting, " Na, Na, you can't catch me!!". Instead of rushing to do his homework and completing it in record time I must remain his shadow,hoping it will be completed before dinner...four hours away. It could even be the same principal applied the day before but he says he has forgotten and he's serious. He'll urinate on the floor, spit, hit, stab, swear and kick others and start raging with little provocation. Many times after an incident he'll seem surprised, as if the consequences of his actions were not something he has anticipated and he can't figure out why he's in trouble ...again. |
