INCORRIGIBLE TEEN

[GERI]

I am a single mother who has raised my only child alone for 17 years. The problem is, my son, Mykel, has during the past two years become more and more uncontrollable. He has made false accusations against me, which brought Children Services into my home and caused great distress and complication. Mykel started in May 2000, when I started a new job with great advancement opportunity, and was trying to prepare for any foreseen problems with Mykel being approximately 40 miles away. So I was investigating the possibilty of having a Big Brother assigned to just watch over Myke and keep him busy and out of trouble, since I would be further away and unavailable most of the day, working longer hours. I must say at this time, I don't want to insinuate that Myke was ever a problem child other than typical teen behavior, mouthy, fibbing, exaggerating, however,he did struck me but we worked that out between us. Otherwise he had always been a latch key child and seldom gave me any need for worry. However, I was concerned because of an incident that led up to this. He had a 12 year old girl in my house alone, while I was at work here in the area. I thought this was very inappropriate and would need addressed. Mykel was upset when he found out what I was trying to achieve and rebelled terribly. He made accusations to the school counselor, my ex mother in law (no relation to Mykel, her name is Garnet), the Church, my family and friends. He told everyone, I was a drunk ( I drank occasionally on the weekends), he told them I abused him, and because of my disorder of manic depressant, he used it against me and called the police and I was taken and admitted to the physchiatric hospital, wherein he packed and left on his own. He was gone for about 3 months and I begged and cried and pleaded for him to come home. Unknowing to me, after I convinced him to come home, he took great advantage of Mommy, taking him on vacation, spending excessive amounts of money that I could not afford and buying him unecessary items, and basically catering to his every want and need while he was manipulating and using guilt against me. It came to the point, after I managed to afford his license, SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAM and the driving school, and I was broke and unemployed, that he decided to leave again. I had lost my job partially because of the incidents that surrounded this entire scenario, had a nervous breakdown and Mykel was mad because I could not let him use my beater of a car to just joyride any time he wanted. I just thought I was being responsible and cautious. But, as indicated above, he left again. We had enrolled in separate counseling and had in home therapist come and observe, wherein he clearly showed his behavior. However, in private, Mykel convinced his therapist that he was not happy here, he exaggerated situations between us and again used my disability against me. Although I thought we were working through the hard parts, but he went behind my back and had arrangements made to be taken out of the home. I am sure you are aware of what happens once the system is involved. Mykel has been out of the house since November, without any contact until recently and basically "got his way". He was placed with my ex mother in law, who is very good at spoiling children for her own marter image, and I tried desperately to explain to her and Children Services and Juvenile Court, without favorable results. I lost custody. This of course did not help my depressive disorder and I was slowly fading away with a broken heart. It has been just a month or so now, that I've been feeling much better and have achieved better coping skills from my physchrastist. Mykel has the entire time while he has been with Garnet (the ex mother in law) gotten into trouble, drinking, wrecking cars, sneaking girls into his room and has had no supervision or direction from this family. I received a call Friday from the Ohio County Sheriff's Dept. Mykel and a few of his friends had skipped school, and drove to another state and was caught trespassing on private property. He called me and expected me to keep this little secret so he would not be punished. I talked to him and explained everything that a loving, caring and responsible parent would have and he agreed and went home. Now, Garnet has called me to tell me that she can not control Mykel, she has beant over backwards for Mykel, she has bought him this,that and the other thing and she can't take it anymore. I may have forgotten to tell you that she has encouraged him the entire time to come live with her and supported all of his claims. This entire thing has been a nightmare for me! I can not express what it has done to me, aside from breaking my heart and ruining my reputation and just increasing the effects of my disorder. I normally am very functional other than compulsive traits and no one was even aware that I have a problem with depression and episodes. I want very much to have a relationship with my son forever, and he has been coming around occassionally, and hinted about coming home, which my doctor advised that I am not well enough to handle the stress again yet, but Garnet has asked for a meeting here at my home, with Children Services, Mykel's therapist and herself and we're to arrange what is to be done with Mykel. I have no clue as to what to do. I love my son and would give my life for him, I never dreamed he would be capable of doing this to me, but I have have to be so careful. The trust is gone and doesnt even realize what he's done. I know I've made this into a book, but this is a story that you can't not shorten. Please if you could advise me as to what to do or where to go for help, I would appreciate it so vry much. I can not afford a lawyer, and with my reputation in distress, and although I am a paralegal, I don't know what to do. I will anxiously await your reply. Thank you so much for your kind consideration and courtesy for reading this letter. God Bless You!
