I told my husband either SS goes to military school or I leave with my children. He is exposing them to sex, drugs and alcohol and I do not want to lose my children. What I was not expecting was my husband to break down crying. I was taken aback. He says he cannot abandon his son like BM did. I was feeling for him but I had my own children to think about. So I kept firm although it was difficult for me.

I gave my husband all the information I got about military schools (thanks Rags!). I talked to some people at the military school near our house and emailed SS's school transcripts to them. They were very interested in meeting him and having him join the school. It is almost a dream come true. They say if he does well on the scholarship test he can get a full-ride untill college. And SS is very smart and will most probably get the scholarship. But SS will probably fail the exam on purpose.

I convinced my husband and he talked to SS. He says we want him to get the best oppurtunities and he tells him about the military school, the great campus etc. He tells SS we will visit/bring him home him every single weekend. Basically he was trying to sell the military school idea. SS FREAKS OUT! He says his grades are good enough and he is NOT leaving his life here. They talk back and forth. Then SS asks my husband if he wants him gone. My husband has reached the end of his rope by now. And he says, yes, I do not want you around my kids. SS goes into his room, grabs some clothes in a bag and just leaves. My husband first decides to wait for a few hours. But it was 1 am and SS still was not back so my husband starts panicking and calls SS's friends. People, he was gone for 22 hours! 2 more hours and the police would have gotten involved.

My husband found him try to hitch a ride 18 miles from where we are. We found out because someone from our town saw SS walking along the highway. That is so dangerous. There are psychos out there! My husband gets his dad and a friend and they both go out to pick up SS. My husband and the friend had to physically restrain SS while my FIL drove them back. My husband locked SS up in the room and put bars across the bedroom window so SS cannot escape. We did not tell our landlady. We will remove them before she comes around. SS is hollering non-stop. This is bloody insane! What on earth are we doing? My husband's plan is make SS's life miserable here so he will beg to go to military school. Please tell me this will get better.
