Not Really Surprised

Got a phone call this morning from John's worker at the Boys Ranch. Apparently he had been pretending to take his meds, but not taking them and gave them to someone else who took a few and ground up and snorted a few. He threw up and had a bloody nose, but is OK.

Sad thing is that the worker at the ranch and I were both completely NOT suprised. John continues to say that he doesn't want to take his meds, but if he doesn't he is violent and out of control.

He is saying how bad he wants contact with us, but he still won't take the medicine that he needs to take to keep from being aggressive and violent.

One of the things that amazes me is how clearly he can articulate what he wants in comparison to how little he is willing to do to get what he wants. But I suppose that's true for all of us in many ways.
