So my 17 year wants the day off from school tomorrow. Wants to go to the fair. I had told him that he had to be all caught up on his work to have the day off. He is not caught up. I told him that he could have half a day off. That wasn't good enough. He had to have the whole day off. He lied to me saying that there were no classes. He even pretended that a teacher was telling him that there were no classes. He was infuriated that I wanted to talk to the teacher directly. Said I didn't trust him. I don't.... for good reason. I called the teacher and he does have classes. So now he is screaming and swearing at me. This is fatherhood.
Fatherhood sucks...

No Complaints
I haven't posted in a while because I have been pretty depressed and didn't want to publish my pathetic complaints. I still feel pretty crappy but I have succumbed to the luring siren of yet another anti-depressant. I really hate the idea of taking medication again but I have to get out of this rut. I have been pretty low for a couple of years now and I am not the person I used to be. This is a new med that was actually created to prevent seizures. Guess I won't have to worry about swallowing my tongue.
My legal issues have taken a turn for the worst as the state wants my son to spend a year in jail as the result of his accident. WTF!!... We are going to fight this one hard but it does not look good. I think it is pretty fucking stupid to send a 17 year old kid to jail for allegedly looking down for a moment when he was driving. How many of us have done that!! I feel horrible about the gentlemen that lost his life in the accident and I weep for his family. But how is anyone served by sending my son to jail? It was a FUCKING accident! And, we really don't know whose fault it was! I sure hope this new med helps. I am having a really hard time with this.

A Nice Weekend
I spent a good part of the weekend with the youth group. We had a very successful fund raiser and spent one morning with some very grateful veterans. It is sad how we warehouse the people that are responsible for the freedoms we enjoy today.
The past few days I have been in a fairly bright and productive mood. I have been off caffeine every other day but I think it is unlikely that coffee has that much affect on me.
Therapy is going fairly well but I am always a little frustrated with the slow progress. I think that there is an issue with the VTA releasing dopamine. It seems that I do not get the requisite amount of joy from many of the activitities I used to enjoy.
I am spending more time with D and trying to help out around the house more. Maybe that is providing a boost to my emotional well being.
