Millionaire allows teen son to marry housekeeper's daughter, avoid school

49. That's what I did! And it ended up ... poorly.

Ex-wife sent my ex-stepson to a similar place. The home succeeded in turning an honor roll student who was reading at 9th grade level in the 3rd grade into a kid who flunked all but one class his sophomore year in high school.

He goes to school when he doesn't have something important to him to do instead. Sits in the back with his headphones, head bobbing to the music, seemingly paying no attention whatsoever to the teacher. Doesn't do his homework. If I sit him down and force him to do the homework, 9 times out of 10 he doesn't bother to turn it in to the teacher.

Then he aces all the tests. Unfortunately, tests alone account for a majority of the grade in one class which was, not coincidentally, the only class he passed last year.

Basically, he isn't going to do shit because too much shit was done to him.


Pure cowardice on my part. I should have lawyered up and tried taking him away from his mother. But when I read up on the home it stated that it was for kids in abusive homes, and I thought it might help. His home wasn't physically abusive. But his mother, well, her condition finally got diagnosed, but not until later.
