Should I Be Suspicious?

Today, when DH and I got home from work, SS15 was a completely different person from who he's been the past six months with us. He asked us about our day, told us all about what he's doing in school, talked a mile a minute about his friends and whatnot.

I'd like to think that me calling him out on his bullshit had some impact. BUT, knowing SS, he probably wants something or is manipulating for some other reason. I'd like to believe there's been change but I just can't. I'd like to reengage, but I'll be damned if I let him screw me over again.

Would you be suspicious?

God, he hasn't shut up for 45 minutes. I think I liked it better when he was silent! }:)

LOL! DH thinks something's up too. He's just waiting for him to ask for something. I'm sure it's coming. You're right, vw. If he really has made a change, it'll last. I honestly don't expect it to.

Sounds to me like he's been smoking pot or taken an upper, OR perhaps he is just buttering you up to ask you something!

Sure enough, two hours after he started being nice, he asked if he could stay home alone while DH and I went to our martial arts class. He KNOWS he isn't allowed to stay home at this point due to our not being able to trust him and him snooping around our bedroom recently. NOPE! But I'm sure that's not all there is. I have a feeling there's more, and the other shoe will drop soon.

That's how SS15 rolls. Treat someone like crap for six months, then be nice for an hour and all is forgiven and forgotten. BM is exactly the same way. He can be sweet as pie all he wants. If he doesn't treat us well consistently, like over a period of months, he isn't being genuine. He lies and manipulates so much we can't trust him at all. We'll see where this goes.
