Just checking in ... on school starting up again ...

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I have been very out of the loop with the holidays and so am catching

up on the posts here. I am reading the " italy " posts with great

interest because I always second guess decisions like that with my

daughter i.e. " If this or that change hadn't happened her symptoms

wouldn't have surfaced, etc. " I think its that part of us as mothers

that want to " keep everything just so " to keep our kids as stable as

we can! One summer we sent our two kids to Grandmas, and the change

in routine just put our dd into a tailspin! I kicked myself over and

over for that one ...

We moved last summer and our daughter is still not happy here and

wants to be back in California, so of course I am sitting here

thinking " if only we hadn't moved then she would be fine! " Well,

unfortunately, life just HAPPENS! And we and our kiddoes have to

cope. Tough though.

One thing I want to mention about waxing and waning... our dd seemed

so much more relaxed on Christmas vacation without the pressure of

school. I mean, except for a few little things, she is much better.

School begins again in 4 days and I am just dreading it. I have

gotten this close to getting her to therapy ... she is more open to

it, but with the holidays we just didn't make it there. Hopefully,

soon ...

Wishing everyone a peaceful new year ... I am very grateful for the

support of this board, even though sometimes I just read and don't

post. All of your journeys are an inspiration to me.

Take care,

Tina in Texas
