[QUOTE="WaveringFaith, post: 620155, member: 17636"] Thank you Scent & helpangel. It does feel like I jinxed him by even talking about it, but I know that's ridiculous. It's been difficult knowing he's back to being the way he was in my home. You hate to see your child not being able to enjoy life, it's such a gift. I remember standing there giving him speeches about how all the unfortunate people in the world, like people without arms or legs, etc.. How they are still able to enjoy and be thankful for life. It was like talking to a wall. I know there's some issues he needs to work on. I truly feel he needs to see another therapist and figure it out. After he reverted back, my mom asked him if he would be interested in seeing another doctor and he said "probably". So the cycle continues. But you're right.. it was nice to see that he has it in him to be able to take some control and do what he needs to do - if he really puts in the effort. It was a good week that he was on this positive streak, doing everything right, acting like he did 2 years ago before this all took hold of him. It does show me that it IS possible. And I do celebrate that. It's hard to be happy and feel joy with the difficult child cloud constantly hanging over head. But I have been practicing my detaching and meditating and trying to just find peace. So I have my umbrella handy in case of a difficult child storm :) Happy Valentine's Day to all.. There is a lot to love in life, I will try to enjoy it today. I hope you do the same! [/QUOTE]
