[QUOTE="ML, post: 233727"] Jen, I'm not saying she doesn't need therapist type support. Remember I have one much like yours. We started swimming on Tuesday. His dad picked him up from daycare and he called me at work hysterical, begging me not to make him go. He said he was going to throw up, was crying at school (this is big, he doesn't show his emotion at school, too embarassing) and it was heart wrenching. So I told him to go into the pool area with dad, suit up and take it from there. If it was too much he could watch the first time. I ran out of work as fast as I could. As I got there he was sitting with the group listening to the coaches with his t shirt on. Then when the kids were getting into the pool I said "you're fine, you can do this" and he went but was furious. He kept calling me from the pool while doing laps saying how much he hated me. By the end of the hour he came up to me and said "I kind of like this, I'm sorry I said I hated you". It was so hard for me not to rescue him and say "you don't have to go". I had to put physical distance there to remain strong. I realize your situation right now is not exactly the same. I just wanted you to know that I do understand and I hope that dang woman calls you back!! ML [/QUOTE]
