Being Ugly is a term that my dear soul sister, Diva, told me about. It's what they say in Oklahoma about how kids have a melt down and lose their cool at people (especially family I think) and Brodie does "Being Ugly" quite well!
He did so the other night and physically hurt Angus and then decided to run away from home. I am so sick and tired of chasing after him that I didn't do it. I don't see why I should have to chase him every time he decides to run away from home. At least this time he didn't pack a bag so I knew that he would come home eventually. He came home when he got hungry because he took off before dinner time. When he came in we were about to sit down for dinner. He had the opportunity to join us but got angry at Mark and stormed off to his room. So Mark made him a sandwich and a drink so he could take his meds & I took them down to his bedroom. Of course Brodie was NOT happy about that and disappeared outside once again after eating. I truly do not know what to do with that child. He is shocking!!
He's been suspended again from school. We got a phone call on Friday just before I left for the primary school with the Assistant Principal saying how they would like me to collect him. Thankfully Mark was the one who answered the phone and said, "Sorry but I don't have the car right now it's at the Primary School with his Mum." To be honest I was leaving in a few minutes but that wasn't the point. There is meant to be a meeting at the school sometime this week in regards to his coming back or his expulsion, whichever they decide. I have no idea what will happen. In fact I am meant to be going to the school on Tuesday afternoon for a meeting in regards to trying to get him an integration aide. I need to find out if they still want me there for that or not. I don't see the point of going there for this meeting if they no longer wish to have him at the High School. I can see that soap box and its calling my name!!!!

I spoke to the Bishop this afternoon along with Brodie. I love our Bishop so much and he told Brodie straight out that is is his choice as to whether he does the right thing at school or not. He knows that Brodie can do the right thing as he has seen him do this at Church. He told Brodie that he needs to ask Heavenly Father for guidance in this. I truly hope that Brodie does this and doesn't try to rely on just himself.
I did ask the Bishop about a companion for Brodie. He thought that the idea was wonderful and I am sure that he is praying about it to see who would be the best person for the job. He also loved the idea about having a meeting to discuss Aspergers Syndrome and what it all means. I told him is was one of the sisters from LDS Social Services who mentioned it. The Bishop wants the Youth Leaders and the Primary Teachers involved, plus anyone else who wants to come as I said it would be important for others to come along. I want them (well all of the Ward) to know that Brodie is not jut a 'naughty' kid and that he does have things we need to be aware of. Also there are many other children in the ward that have behavioural issues that the leaders need to be aware of and have strategies in place to help them cope better.
