[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 186539"] Thanks! Adrianne, we do sometimes discuss the next pass as well as when I will visit him next. As far as talking one on one, yes and no. easy child isn't always around during the pass, but almost always goes with to take him back. Beth, I haven't really considered what he has been going through towards the end of the pass being uncooperative - it's more of a letting loose of feelings. Usually this has just been him being quiet and mopey and crying. This last weekend was the first time that he did anything more. We had gotten to McDonald's to get our ice cream and he was crying, I talked with him and so did easy child reassuring him and telling him he was doing good, etc. At first he didn't want an ice cream, and then he said he would. We sat down at a table to eat our ice cream and he sat at a different table next to ours. You could tell he was still upset. He ate the ice cream and then set the cone on the table. He was sitting there with his arms folded and then reached out and crushed the cone with his hand. I asked him why he did that and he said he was mad. He then moved over a little more and just started staring out the window and wiping his eyes. easy child and I finished our ice cream and I said lets go to Walmart and look for the slippers that difficult child wanted - we had just enough time to run down the street, run in and grab them and get him back in time. By the time we got to the checkout, he was fine. We got back, I walked him to the door, he gave me a big hug, said I love you and said see you Wednesday. [/QUOTE]
