I think you are confusing Osiris with Horus, LanDi. But even then, most 'copycat' or 'comparison' claims are inaccurate. I'm curious as to what sources you have used to draw your conclusions?

Quandry- I love your ideas. I'm going to do this one too.
Restrangled - I love the story. My husband's solution would have been the same; but he just wasn't very involved until things escalated to the point where my son threatened suicide. And I was focused on my work at the time, and my own problems, and never saw the seriousness of what was happening either. I could write the fighting off as boys being boys, but not the depression and fury that come with it. Due to our own ignorance (mine and my husbands), we're at a whole different stage. Thankfully, I have a second chance to fix things.
Awildflower - The school systems are awful, I know. Some of the teachers are really good, and most of my sons have been, but some of them just don't care. (Don't get me started on his old and bitter grade one teacher. I swear she would have been happier as a nun caning students) My son is doing better today. Laughing and playing with his brother. I think he's calmer just to know that I'm taking it seriously, that I cared enough to get us back into counseling immediately - which he likes. I think it also helped hearing about the stories that everyone here has posted. So he doesn't feel so alone and 'broken' from the way that he is feeling. Thanks for checking on us.

Breaking News: Police Arrest JW Elder for Creating Chaos at Hospital
by Scott77 ina jehovah witness man, kwabena afum and his wife, margret afum aka abena oduma, have had a brush with the law after creating an unnecessary chaotic scene at new edubiase government hospital in a bid to prevent medical officers from giving blood to their son.. .
kwabena afum was arrested last week tuesday and granted a police enquiry bail the next day for causing panic and chaos by allegedly mobilizing some members of his church to foment trouble at the hospital.. .
he has since disowned five-year-old jepheth asamoah, who is currently in the custody of the social welfare department in the district, even after his release.. .

I don't think he could possibly blame his child for having a blood transfusion -forced- upon him. (Barring mental health issues -well, more extreme mental health issues)
This sounds more like:
"You people. Look what you've done with your interference. You MADE me disown my son! All of this is YOUR fault!"
Just a thought.

Maeve, thank you so much for taking that time to share all of that. I love the eight cardinal attributes, too. Sometimes I think perhaps I'm teaching him the right things, but I'm just teaching them the wrong way. The cheating at games - I've really only told him how wrong it is. Never thought to tell him just how generous it is to let others win sometimes.
Good points to consider.
Whatever else tell the truth
We had this nailed for a couple of years; after tackling the lying issue from when he was younger. For a while, he was honest to the point where he fessed up to starting things with other kids... even when no one was questioning him. He could be trusted, and both me and his teachers praised him on his honesty.
That's since taken a dive, but I totally agree with you. People will give an honest person another chance, even when they've done wrong, far faster than they'll bother with a dishonest person.
I told him that as long as he lies, he has twice as much to worry about. First, getting caught for whatever he may have done wrong, and second, getting caught lying about it.
Thank you everyone. I rarely stay down about things for long, but I need to keep my concerns upmost in mind; so I don't slack off when I think everything is going well.
We're in this for the long haul, but I have my stamina back after yesterday's slump.

Thanks Sphere and Quandry.
My son is extremely smart academically; though he told me that he tried to fail his math test because kids don't like other kids that are too smart. Got to nip that one quick!
He is involved in Scouts, and it has been a positive experience, but he still carries his issues with him. You're right about the volunteering though; we did a bottle drive. He was excited to be helping for one, and also happy that people gave so much. He groans when I bring up going to do something like that; but he is happy when he gets into it, knowing he's doing things to help other people. One of the reasons he gave last year for wanting to die was that he never did anything good for anyone, anyway.
I will look into summer work programs with some of the marine life we have here. He is allergic to animals otherwise.
All great suggestions! Thanks so much!

Thanks, Gladiator- I'm feeling calmer and much more resolute, so that's a good thing.
You really miss my rabbit-eared/googly-eyed/elephant-nosed monster? That's sweet of you. But these are no mere flowers, my gladiatorial friend. These are LILIES.
My favorite, apparently :)

Where did England disappear to?
by dorayakii inengland is the oldest nation-state in europe.
it is a pround and historic nation that is often buried under a "british" identity by the uk government.
within the european unon, scotland and wales are treated as regional entities, yet england is broken up into 6 regions and is not acknowledged as an entity in itself.

Well, I for one, never understood when to call someone English and when to call them British. Happy for the explanation.
