My son has basically ended a friendship

[mzteris]

38. I've always thought

the kid had some serious MH issues. And probably some undiagnosed learning difficulties (which is really sad considering his mom is in Special Ed. . . )

He has done some pretty outrageous things over the years. Lying being the least of them. Dangerous and vengeful and hurtful to people who are supposedly his "friends". He started a whispering campaign about another kid who, when they were very little, was his BEST FRIEND. He told everyone that kid was gay. His mother is a lesbian. My son, who wasn't aware at the time where the 'rumour' started, took up for the boy. He just told me the other day that for three years, a lot of the kids at his school think HE's gay (not that there would be a damn thing wrong if he were!). I asked him why he hadn't told me before. He shrugged and said, "because is doesn't matter. It's not an insult to be called gay and I don't care what they think anyway."

Lest yall think my son is a saint, I'll tell you he is a moody 14 yr old who doesn't do his chores half the time, "forgets" to do his homework - or turn it in, is a smartass on occasion, can get a real attitude with his mom,and sometimes I wonder if he'll make it to 15! lol...
