On orders from Sgt.-Major Taylor, herewith a new post. All's quiet on the western front (front lawn). On the eastern front (back lawn), Peter's out shooting hoops. A lazy day. And semi-peaceful, for a change.
Against my will, I offered counseling to Peter. I don't believe in it, but Justin does, so now maybe he will owe me a dozen blow jobs for going along with this idea.
Sounds like it could be a lull in the battle. I can't help but wonder if Peter's real problem is the phone call from his father not the girlfriend crisis.
I am sure he is emotionally upset by the call seeing as how his "father" was probably very derogatory toward you and Justin. I hope either you or Justin can get him to talk about his feelings (even though I know it is not your thing)because I am sure his mood this weekend largely stems from his unresolved feelings. Teenagers are a never ending source of worry for the adults in their lives (as you know).
Peter's definitely upset about his dad's remarks. He was confused about the term "fudge packer," and didn't I have a fabulous time explaining that to him?
He was embarrassed (surprise) and maybe Justin's going to rag on me, but I felt it was important for him to understand what his dad was saying.
I'm going along with the therapist/counselor business, much as I don't believe in that shit. But if it helps Peter, c'est la vie.
I think you are doing an amazing job with Peter in a very difficult situation. It is understandable that he is confused with the negative feedback he has and is receiving from his "so called" family but give him time. Kids are generally pretty good of seeing through the bullshit and figuring out who loves them and has their welfare at heart.
I know you hate the displays of affection but I am sure that Peter needed that hug more than anything else you could have said or done right then.
Ack! Now I'm worried about Peter. I hope he hasn't gotten far on his bike -- I'm having flashbacks to Hunter running away from Michael and Ben. :-/ Good luck finding him...
I hope Peter's apology was genuine and that Justin was comfortable accepting it. I hate to think that he's allowing Peter to manipulate him so as not to cause trouble for you.

Now go enjoy the evening with Justin!

I'm really aching for him right now.
I do have faith that you will find the right things to say or not say.
Please let us know how it goes.
