We're Home!

First of all I have to say Happy 80th Birthday to my Dad!! It's his birthday today. He's going out for dinner tonight with some of the family. I feel a bit bad that we didn't stay but the boys were misbehaving so much that I felt it was better for Dad's health that we went home early.

I'm so glad that we came home when we did. We've had so many problems with the car its just awful. I had organised to get an advance with my carers pension (it should be through tomorrow) but the way things are going with the car it looks like we will be using the money for repairs instead of the portable air-conditioner that we wanted to buy. I cannot believe the trouble we have had with the radiator and losing water. I am so thankful that we never cooked the motor. We were very blessed. We've also got an oil leak too. Mark doesn't know where the leak is coming from but that needs fixing too. I swear even with my old car the motor was fine it was just the body of it that was dying. For a fleeting moment I wish that we kept the car just for the engine and got a new body for it. Perhaps it might have been less of a hassle for us.

Since we've been home I just about pulled my hair out these past few days. The boys are constantly fighting, swearing, dobbing and hurting one another. I'm at my wits end. I am sick to death of Brodie's behaviour. His anger and aggression towards his brother is at the point where I can see Angus getting terribly hurt. I've phoned GCAMHS last Friday after the latest 'BIG' fight and am still waiting for his Case Manager to phone me back. If I don't hear from her tomorrow I'll phone them again. I really want Brodie to go do some Anger Management course or something because this is just getting way too dangerous for us to deal with.
