When I returned from taking Rebel for her doctor appointment, RebelTween had three boys in the house. NONE of whom were the ones she claims were involved in lifting my liquor. I took her aside and asked her what part of NO ONE is allowed in the house after school? "I called Dad" she said. And the point would be...... "dad said it was okay. OH... and I *found* your scotch. It's beside your bedroom door." And indeed... whiskey returned... seal not even broken on the bottle.
When I once again asked WHO had it and HOW she got it back, I got a very, very lame response. Apparently, she knew who had it. Hmmmm I am thinking the little RebelTween had it herself for some future event??? I told RebelTween I WOULD know who stole my booze. I WOULD tell the parents. As it was ... three dorky boys had an earful from me as I walked into the house. Perhaps a tad whacko... however, RebelTween deserves to share my pain.
As I mentioned this to spousal unit he didn't seem to get too concerned at all.
NOT. at. all.
The man needs a HUGE wake up call. I do NOT understand this complacency at all.
NOT. at. all.
Oh there will be counselling. The Teacher at school has been spoken to AND I have insisted that SU get on board to deal with RebelTween's change in attitude and behavior. He locked himself into his room and chose to not discuss it.
I am NOT done with this.
The SU thinks he did me a big favour by changing the broken lock on my bedroom door. Kind of like closing the barn door after the horse has run off. Stealing alcohol is a symptom... not a problem.
SU now knows how I stand on the separation issues. Ball is in his court and I've seen and heard nothing. There is no progress here. NOTHING at all.
No doubt as usual, I in my usual management role, am expected to take over the process.

Exactly. As Lily said, you need to get people involved with this. You are doing well involving her school but I think you really should involve your family doc as well. Get her checked out and given a clean bill of health. Don't back down.
Like it or not, You may have to take over this process in order to save RebelTween. It is certainly beginning to look like that to me anyways.
We've got your back, doll. At least as much as we possibly can.

p.s. How is Miss Rebel?
Miss Rebel is in the hospital overnight waiting for a consult with a cardiologist. You don't get to see a cardiologist until the other specialist check things over four ways to Sunday. And indeed it appears she has some sort of viral infection of the walls lining her heart.. probably from the pneumonia, but maybe not.
The internist who is up the food chain from the triage doc and even higher than the consulting physician felt it best to keep her over night so she could be *one of the first* for an echo cardio gram and other cardio type tests and in line to see the cardiologist.
I wonder what else the good Lord thinks I can handle at this point.
I am praying on it.
that an the returned bottle of glenmorangie will do me some good tonight.

Lots of prayers for Miss Rebel and for you as well, doll.
I love ya,
*hugs*
