Things are just not good here.

I am at a loss as to what to do about Daniel. He has no concept of what he is doing to me, himself or his future. He continues to make poor decisions day after day after day. His teachers are all so supportive, and since he is in Special Ed he has a 'primary provider' that looks after him on a regular basis, and she is convinced that he can be turned around. But all of this support has to have some effort on Daniel's part and while he says he wants to succeed, the effort just isn't there. At all. He doesn't seem to mind being grounded, he's a loner and he has no activities to look forward to anyway. It seems to bother him some when I am upset about his behavior, but the behavior always begins again. He eludes to the prospect of running away. I'm just so sad about all of this.
