I have spoken to manster at least 5 times a day since he left on Tuesday. Every time I talk to him his voice sounds so fragile. I know he is homesick. I can tell he is trying so hard not to cry. He's using all of his coping skills right now to adapt to a new environment at his Grandma's. There was too much down time yesterday and he doesn't have his electronics. But today they are doing Disneyland so hopefully he'll have fun.
This is good for him. He needs to develop these skills. His anxiety is just through the roof but I keep thinking the more he practices certain things, like being away from home and meeting new people, the easier it will become.
Everything is so painful for some of our kids. I won't be surprised if he's chewed all the sleeves on his shirts to shreds!
The emotional fragility scares me. I pray that I'm doing the right things for him right now and that if a better way, strategy, medication out there that I find it.
Thanks for being here.
