So many things that I can't keep up!

Recent events

• Maria was in Intensive Care in the local hospital for 4 weeks and RA wouldn't visit. I wonder what he really feels for anyone. Is there a living person he loves? Apart from himself of course.
• Maria died. RA showed no feelings - seemed to be totally disconnected from it all. 
• He refused to go to the church for her funeral. However I managed to sort that by asking my sister in law to speak with him. She got him out of bed and into his clothes in five minutes. He's still a bit careful not to let the extended family see his true self. He was there to see the church full of friends, to see all his family crying,  to hear his father speak beautifully about his mother. That evening he asked if he can move to another bedroom now that we have the whole house.
• He is with us now. We had a talk about money and helping in the house. He seemed more reasonable than usual. He seemed to understand that stealing doesn't help people trust you.
• This morning he was discovered stealing coins from Jordi's collection. This was carefully set out in albums, in date order and going back years. Now there are gaps all over the books which add up to over 100 euros.
• Later the same day - one to remember! - we discovered he hasn't been going to school for weeks. He sits in a local cafe and plays games on the machines.
• An appointment has been made with the psychologist for next week

So what's new with you?
