Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Thanks to all of you who responded to me last week during my meltdown due to 's meltdown. Lots of melting going on here in Texas. is appearing to me to be more and more depressed, probably due to realizing that yes, summer is over and yes, school requires work. It is a real drag for him. However, we are all trying to make the adjustment easier. I have moved up his dr. visit with that in mind. I did take a little road trip from Fri-Sun and go to Austin to help my cousin with her newborn. It turned out to be a great move for everyone's part. According to my husband (who has not really had to handle these daily outbursts), basically refused to do anything. So took away everything; video games, computer......Still no positive response, lots of threats, and eventually realized my husband was serious. Then, things got better! By the time I got home last night around 6pm, everyone was doing well. Our daughter had spent the entire weekend home; no mall, shopping, running around (which usually wears me out); had spent 24 hours with no technology, and was VERY happy that I'd brought him a new book; and my husband appeared to have a newfound appreciation for my daily life. I know this is just a baby step, and that running away is not the answer, but it really helped me to have stepped away and let go a little bit. Now I'm recharged enough to face the ARD on Friday with the loony vice principal (who called today to ask if had taken his meds (!?)). I am praying for all of you, and so thankful I found you. Thank you for listening. I hope I can help you in return. Love, Candy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
