We agreed that it would be a good idea for us to call the school and get the info for ourselves since D wasn't doing it. So the call went well, at first attempt there was a voice message that told that the school has been�closed since June and would be in session on 8/8. Wondered where they are, decided to call back.�Ok, so a second call prompted someone at the school to answer.
We have a booklet on the school coming in the mail and hoping that it answers our questions.
D. came home and said that he'd called the school (good!!) and left a message (not so good). We shared what we learned and he went on to say that he's thinking that he school is "ghetto". Huh? How's that? I think that he's got to go see for himself, next week for sure. Then we'll know for sure if the school is going to be a benefit to him. If he's not going to attend that school then the internship would end-at least I think so anyway. For sure, what then, cause he's GOT to do something! Sweeping hair for min. wage is definately not going to keep his boat floating.
The rescue part came in that Bear called D. right after he talked to the school and let him know that he had done it which in my way of thinking lets D. think he doesn't have to do it for himself. I thought our call should have been for our info only and that D. needed to seek the info on his own.
I need to see D. taking steps to improve himself by himself, we need to�LET him. My husband is a rescuer and I love that about him but right now�that behavior�could be making things in the long run worse for D.
I've been told that we are enabling D. What is his motivation to do better when we're carrying his burdon?�
With that thought I am sencing a�coming shift in our support of D. I need to let�that resonate for awhile. Also I want to see what comes of D's visit to the school. ($800 fee up front)�
