Just, Tired

I am SO TIRED of my Extreme Teen.

I am SO TIRED of having the same. Conversation. Every. Single. Bloody. Day!

I am SO TIRED of feeling like I can't wait for him to hurry and turn eighteen already... 1 year, 8 months, and 19 days.

I am SO TIRED of being mad. All the time, mad. At his behavior. At him.

I am SO TIRED of him.

I am just so very, very, very tired. Period.

And I know that me exploding does no good. I know that me freaking out on him doesn't help. I know it doesn't... but I do it anyway.

It's just that... when he does something... when he plays it like he does... it just BURNS ME UP (picture orange flames around the red).

And I go off. Just, off. Like that. I don't start out that way. But that's how we wind up.

I just wish he would STOP already. I wish he would knock it off.  He is driving all of us away. He is pushing his family away, and when he turns eighteen, no one is going to want anything to do with him. We can't. We won't.

He will be adrift and have cut himself off from the rest of us, and that's just sad. And frankly, I don't think that he really cares. I don't know that he ever really will.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Of course he doesn't care. He's just "that age". I know that doesn't help. Who knows if one day he'll look back and wonder "what the hell was I thinking?" Just ride it out. I know...easy for me to say, right? Just take a deep breath and try to get through each day.
It's late now - we've been gone ALL day...I'll call you tomorrow!
