Manster is doing ok, considering. I am careful to keep expectations reasonable. He brought home mostly C's on his report card and I praised him for doing his best. I recongize how difficult it is for him just getting through the long days and meeting everyone's expectations of him.
We are finally doing the complete taper off Celexa as he was hanging on to about 5-7 mgs for some time now. I am once again noticing some symptoms of emotional lability and increase in anxiety. He refuses to walk around the right side of the school building where the 4-6 graders walk. I mean he will do it if he has to but will usually walk all around the other side where the younger kids go to get to his classroom. He swears no one is hassling him. He just got something in his head. The bad thing is he is usually 1-2 minutes late and they mark him as tardy and I just got a letter from the principal re their concern (and absences which I didn't think were that bad). It's always something you don't expect lol. Might as well stop worrying about what I *do* know.
One bad night was Friday at the schoo'ls annual rund raiser, the "sock hop". Manster got it in his head that we were giving his friend R more attention than we gave him (which to him translates as we love her more which is crazy). It ruined his evening. He sulked till we said we might as well leave and he was mad in the car, crying about being the victim of unfairness. I'm not sure what to do with that.
Despite what I said about the worry, I am still guilty of it. I'm working on letting it go for short periods but it's hard.
Thanks so much for just being here and having this place for me to vent.
