Right guys and ladies, you may remember I split up with the mrs earlier this year due to her running off with someone pretty much the same age as our eldest son, my eldest took it in his stride, yeah he was angry and wound up, but didn't let it get him down which I was proud of him for. Now my 16 year old boy had basically struggled along living with her for a few months, story goes basically my boy was staying there she had the new boyfriend now and said to my boy if you don't like it go and stay with your Dad (Me).
Anyway he stayed at home, she was kissing cuddling all in front of my boy and his mate, anyway my son naturally kicked off, never touched her just wanted the smack the boy really, anyway she burst in my sons room smacked him round the face and there was a bit of pushing and shoving going on you get the jist. She then rang the police on her own son (yes it's unbelievable I know), then said he came in her room hit her etc etc, he got arrested banged up for a night or out 11 o'clock the next morning, anyway they got a statement off his mate and confirmed the fact his mother totally lied and got him arrested because she's a lot of things. Anyway I moved him straight in with me after that, despite the lack of room.
Anyway I tried to keep them in contact because she is his mum at the end of the day. Then they had another big fallout in September after she got me arrested for hitting her, yet again this was a load of bullshit and witness statements and my son being there at the time showed again she hit someone rang the police and told a complete pack of lies.
Anyway back to the main point here, my 16 year old hasn't been right since all of this kicked off, it was in May so right at the time when he was doing his exams, he did ok but understandably not as well as he could've. He's been with me and he really is a very angry young man, anyway got a text from his mum today after not speaking to her for 3 months albeit she has tried to make contact since then and hebhas ignored her. I said to him today make the effort back she is trying she said meet up the town, my boy said over the park, basically she said no, she didn't want me there and town was the place to meet. He said no I've told you where etc and my Dad (me) will be there regardless she said you make the effort, he said I've made the effort if you don't want too meet I'm not really bothered. Meanwhile we arrive at Tescos my son goes to the toilet while I had a quick look around.
Whilst leaving the toilet a bloke copped him in a already bad mood and said "well done for washing your hands mate your filthy" being brutally honest he usually does, but stressed out etc he wasn't bothered, anyway he said to me he though I'd just wall off but I couldn't. Anyway gave the bloke a load of mouth and told him to shut up or you'll get a smack pretty much, the bloke did then shut up and left my boy to carry on. Then my boy told me this story which pissed me off with the fella, but with Tescos today being covered in police for some reason I left it, my son though couldn't followed him out into the car park, but luckily I grabbed him before he did anything, then he flipped, punching trees (cut his hand up) kicking trollys around and just generally going mental, this wound me up as the last thing I want is him arrested over Christmas. Anyway we get in the car and he starts crying his eyes out, I get him to ring his mum, she basically says I don't want advice from you, you've turned him against me blah blah blah. Maybe he was right all along by not texting her, shows I didn't know best this time
Anyway guys I need advice on his anger, he's looked for a job no one is giving any jobs out I need to try and take his mind off of things. He says he's fine, but I know he's not, he just looks out of it as it were. Any ideas, sorry for the huge story but I do want what is best for him because I love him too bits.
