Yesterday was the stepson's birthday - 25 going on 12 - and my wife and I met up with him and his middle brother at a "local" adult arcade for supper. Everyone carefully stayed away from the obvious taboo subjects and dinner went fine. Then the middle brother brought in the gift(s) that he and the oldest brother had purchased for the stepson. When the stepson opened the gifts, we could just SEE it in his face where his thoughts were going. One of the gifts was a watch. Another was a new wallet.
The watch will probably disappear the next time he has an episode because it is something new in his life and obviously contains a bug that is spying on him or trying to control his mind somehow.
The wallet is just going to remind him that we took his license and atm card away.
Anyway, the stepson has to return home today because he has the second of three doctor's appointments tomorrow morning. There goes another $250, cash.
*sigh*
