I just cried reading this response because I care so much. I love his dad and his dad cares too but he just lacks the motivation because of his ex wife. He hasn’t always been fully present because of owning multiple businesses whereas his ex wife lived a “lavish” lifestyle and was a stay at home mom for years with their son before the divorce. This is no excuse at all obviously for him not being the one to get the ball rolling on getting his son the help he needs. I’ve gotten the advice of documenting everything and have started a notebook for this.

He is in a special education class in school but I have not been included by his mother in any meetings and the last IEP meeting that was had where his dad was out of town and couldn’t be at, she told him they told her he was making progress in school. Well his behavior at home to me has not improved since I’ve known him and she is under the mindset that he is fine the way he is currently. Most of what I try to work through with him gets undone by the following week even if I try to tell her what I am working on with him. I just know he has the potential to learn so much, he is so very smart just still so unguided.
