Well that's just great... Hell breaks lose

Just about an hour ago, I was looking at ST, thinking how great it was I had no real news for the group. Damn, I cursed myself...

About 30 minutes after I had that thought, SS14 comes in and asks me for the "damn phone." I told him he couldn't have the phone if he was gonna talk to me like that. He grabs it off the night stand before I can stop him. I hear him in the living room screaming at someone (I realize later it's DH) that he was gonna effin beat up his brother, SS15. Then he slams out of the house, but I can still hear him screaming into the phone.

Long story short, the two boys got into a fight over the Xbox, infront of a friend who was visiting. SS14 just totally flipped out and started wailing on SS15. SS15 took a swing to defend himself and clocked him in the face, causing a split lip. So then SS14 wants to cry time out and runs to grab the phone and tell daddy...

SS14 came back in house, yelling at his brother, cursing infront of BS8. When I try to seperate them and tell them to wait 20 minutes- time out, go to your room, go to the garage, then SS14 flips out on me, telling me to stay the f out of it before he punches me. He runs out of the house in a rage. The visiting friend left, and SS15 calls DH to tell him what's going on.

DH flips out on SS15, and starts blaming him. SS15 tells him he wasn't the one causing trouble, 14 flipped out for no reason. (Which he has a tendency to do- he seems to have outgrown his childhood bipolar disorder, but sometimes still flips out) 15 hangs up on dad, mad that he's in trouble for something he didn't do.

Difficult for DH to do anything, as he's still about 30 minutes from home from his 2 hour commute. SS15 borrows the phone and asks grandpa to come get him before something bad happens. I get BS8 hidden away- time for bath!

DH gets home and immediately asks me what I DID! WTH I'm just sitting here, trying to grade papers, watching Vampire Diaries and craziness erupted around me and it's my fault?

Grandpa arrives. DH lays into 15, blaming him. Grandpa tells me he's changing his phone number. I tell him they're all crazy. 15 leaves with Grandpa, taking a duffle bag full of clothes.

DH goes out to garage and gets 14, and starts yelling at him. He sends him to clean up the mess he made where he had taken all the shoes from the front closet and thrown them into the yard in his fit of rage. BS8 is still in the bathtub. I have since lost any idea about what my show is about- a release I REALLY needed after the day I'd had at work, but I continue grading papers. (It can be mind numbing. LOL) 14 comes back in, somewhat calm. DH takes him downstairs to talk. A little bit later, DH cames back up alone. A few minutes after that, I can hear 14 in the kitchen, crying. I admit, I was hard-hearted and ignored him. I've been down this road before, and I'm a little confused as to why he's getting this treatment and 15 seems to be in trouble...

DH comes into the kitchen a few minutes later, and I can hear him in a soothing voice. Then DH comes in here and asks me if I heard him crying, why didn't I try to soothe him. I played dumb and said I guess I didn't hear over the bathwater...

Now DH and 14 are in the couch watching a movie, DH with his arm around 14 in protective mode.

WTH?!?! And if I ask any questions, guess what? I'm wrong, and I'm being evil. It's a no-win.

I feel for you and know what you are going through, I have 2 SS's 12 and 14 and they firght like that so I make sure the weekends thay are both here my kids go visit their BD that weekend. SS's fight constantly I have just learned to walk away they are not my responsability, they treat me like dog shit and then want me to do things for them and take them places.. well no more! They have told me countless times" your not my mom, I don't have to listen to you" no I am not your mother and you are no linger my responsability, and if you want someone to do things for you, care about you and take you places... go ask your mother!!!! It may seem cruel but they have been cruel to me for over 4 years now, this is the only way I can deal anymore! I am just too tired to be walked on anymore!!!
