I thing you just...I don't think you found ugliness. I thing you just found a glitch on the happy radar screen. <BR/><BR/>The boy who is Austin's friend sounds very sorry and clearly wanted to make up for the blunder his stepfather did. And he named issues his stepfather is facing like the language barrier and so on. It sounds like this 15 year old carries a LOT of responsibility at home. <BR/><BR/>I would definitely take more time with those boys as they bond and get to know him better. Take them out for ice cream...to the park, see what his interests are. See what his home life is like. Take an opportunity to meet his mom and get to know her a little. Be the June Cleaver "make the chocolate chip cookies" get out the board games and play monopoly for a while with the boys tomorrow and see what you can find out about this boy and his home life in casual conversation. <BR/><BR/>Just some random ideas to figure out if allowing Austin to invest his heart and soul into him is worth it or NOT. <BR/><BR/>GOOD LUCK....<BR/>JenPeaceful Epiphanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00014111444876850104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565064927448520692.post-6251907062732740132008-11-08T18:44:00.000-05:002008-11-08T18:44:00.000-05:00that boy sounds pretty mature. is he of the same r...that boy sounds pretty mature. is he of the same race as his step-dad? Most kids would not have made that gesture so someone, somewhere, has taught him correctly.<BR/>I hope you enjoy your day. it was gorgeous here.<BR/>hugs<BR/>tinaTina of Moon Shinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09924211569164172510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565064927448520692.post-62751658663190420342008-11-08T12:52:00.000-05:002008-11-08T12:52:00.000-05:00You opened the line of communication with the frie...You opened the line of communication with the friend, and maybe he doesn't get that at home.
