I was going to say something inappropriate about Bones always being up for the job. But then I realised it was inappropriate. And kind of said it anyway.
I like that you don't demonize Winona or Frank, just let them be people frustrated with the situation they find themselves in--and the child who is acting out and they're really clueless help. The rest of this reads very much in character for the movie, and I love the end, where Bones just keeps pushing in and refusing to back off and does take care of him.
I'm not a huge fan of all the fics where Winona and Frank are made out to be these horrible, despicable people - I mean, the little we saw of Jim in Iowa was that he was impulsive and reckless and irresponsible. I bet his parents had a tough time raising him, and it won't have been completely their help.
Jim's not an easy person to understand and take care of and I love how Bones just knows. It's my favorite little piece in their relationship and you brought it out very well. Excellent job!

(do you mean to leave the ___ for the whatever he's contracted in the Spock bit? Maybe yes, just checking)
