I know my son is stressed over everything that happened last night, but he went into his room and very quietly, hardly making any noise at all, trashed the place.
I don't mean like a regular "almost ten year" old would do. He had everything out!
He has an eight foot by eight foot bookcase, that is completely full of books, CDs, magazines and special stuff, like his favorite dragons except for the top shelf, which is games, puzzles and various shit. All the shit was scattered all over the room, his clothes were out of the closet, all over the room, his toybox, trading cards, legos, crayons, drawing markers - all over the room. I mean like almost every fucking thing was out!
I "almost went nuts" all over his ass when I discovered it.
but, I caught my breath and asked what he was doing. He just said that he wanted to see some of his things. I asked about his clothes. He said that he wanted to choose what to wear to school tomorrow, but his closet is empty, he has ALL of his clothes out.
It doesn't make sense for me to punish him or suspend privileges or anything for this horrible mess. I think it was a kind of wacked out stim or something. I am going to help him pick it all up, starting with the cloths and the books, but he's going to do most of it. That will be as close to punishment as I feel is necessary.
I certainly can't let "Mommy" see this.
(me)(just about everything)
