Child to parent violence - Tick
Aggressive and controlling behaviour - Tick
No longer able to live at home - Tick
Disappearing and having to be returned by police - Tick
Exclusions from school - Tick
Needing a special school for behavioural issues - Tick
We're now told that Mackerel has to attend a 6 week order with the youth offending team so we're getting closer to a full house. Still need to mark off a full-blown arrest and him impregnating someone. Surprisingly the only permanent exclusion he had was from a nursery. Not sure if that counts or if we need to get one from a school to mark that one off?
Anything else we might have missed?

Permanent exclusion from nursery is particularly impressive, so hard to obtain. Self harm or major substance abuse should be on the card. Knife wielding is also part of the set. Charm that can be switched on like fog lights.  |

Self harm - no, not had that.
Substance abuse - was brought home intoxicated by the police
Knife wielding - Tick. Kermit was so brilliant. "Looks like you want to chop some vegetables. Come in the kitchen, then..."
Charm - Oh, yes. Loads of people really like him.

hmmm.....I can tick some the same - do we need some allegations on the card?
Allegations of physical abuse against adoptive parent
Allegations to police of abuse against someone already in prison for this type of abuse - if you know what I mean....
Allegations to police about someone else abusing another someone else
Abilities to huff for England
Buckets and buckets of articulate charm

Taking a car (probably yours - he knows where the keys are) without the owner's knowledge or consent and driving at high speed. Very high speed. (Does he enjoy risk taking? This is a very likely one then!)

In the absence of an available car, use you as the getaway driver after (without your knowledge) committing a robbery. Make sure the dog is in the back of the car. Get you to drive at top speed, emulating Lewis Hamilton, as you are pursued by four angry men in a car. They want the shop's money back but you assume that you are the victim of a very nasty incident of road rage and you are speeding to get away from these angry and aggressive men who are screaming at you as they pursue you along the windy country roads. (Also risk a prison sentence yourself as an apparent accomplice in the crime).

Shoplifting. They can get very good at it. Banned from shops. She enjoyed the thrill of the chase so would enter the store and deliberately stand under the instore cameras, do a little jig and wave to the security staff, to make sure she had their full attention before setting off on her shoplifting spree. (Alcohol was her target - not easy to conceal on the person you would think). I used to provide the stores with mugshots of her (a la Crimewatch) to try and boost their detection rates and stop her offending.

Tick to the depression and shoplifting. Never had a problem with going to the bathroom: the kids were too fixated on Kermit to be bothered following me around.

This makes depressing reading!
You experienced adopters amaze me with your resiliance and sense of humour when things have obviously been beyond stressful.
You inspire me, thank you
oh, and I am just a little bit terrified of the future................

Hi, Poohbear -
You're right there: depressing and inspiring. I love hearing from those who have gone through so much yet are not broken; who retain a sense of humour, no matter how dark it is; who show incredible depths of courage and tenacity. As you say, they're really inspiring people.
Hoping that you don't have to go through so much - and particularly that Pilchard and Shrimp don't have to, either.

Ah Ham, that is a different bingo card - now you are on to the equivalent of Deluxe Trivial pursuit.
'Therapies x has tried' can also be played with other groups of parents...

So much to look forward to! I can see it all coming.
How do you keep going people? I really hope the authorities know this is your life. SW and the like take note.
I am so fed up so much of the time now...this makes me even more depressed. Despite making me chuckle.
