[QUOTE="Ngaire K, post: 54774, member: 3655"] Thanks to all who replied. Well he went to school today [img]:smile:[/img] I do understand his anxiety about going to school. He has always suffered anxiety about school, mainly about seperating from me, and doesnt handle any meanness from other students (he was bullied a lot in intermediate which is when he started having rages). This year is just so important, its exam year, the ones that will go on his CV for future job prospects. He was getting teased when he went back after getting his nose broken, all the "manly" bull, being told he was weak becasue he came off worse. My heart breaks for him. Kids can be SO MEAN. I spent all morning on the net yesterday looking for alternative education solutions. I know if this doesnt work I WILL get him hooked up on correspondance and do it from home, but I'm aware that I need time out to regroup so I can be emotionally there for him so its a tough one. But at the end of the day, his qualifications are what matters, and I will do what I have to. We are talking lots, our bond is back, that makes it alot easier, and he respects me again too. I'm just worried for his future. Phychiatrist diagnosed him, he definitely has anxiety issues, he is off to his first therapy appointment after school today, he finally saw he needed to go to help him sort some stuff out, YAY!!! Not on medication, was never advised, tho I was told it was an option. His problems have always seemed to be based on things that have happened to him (hes had such a rough life, dad died at 9, grandparents moved overseas within a year later, got bells palsy soon after, then bullied and teased as a result). I've always seen it as a last resort, its never got bad enough for me to contemplete it. Thanks again for reaching out, I feel so overwhelmed at times trying to support him (pretty much by myself, I dont have much support), I feel for him so deeply. [/QUOTE]
