[QUOTE="sdr413, post: 29625, member: 73"] It has been awhile since I have posted. So here goes the update: The last I posted I had shared tha mother in law had moved in with us. That lasted a year and a half until she wanted a place of her own a couple of months ago. Not because of our relationship, mainly because she was babysitting for my youngest grandPC and they live quite a ways from here so mother in law moved to an apartment halfway between us both so that we all could still be "close". Over time mother in law, having raised four boys of her own has been a great help with difficult child and he has really matured alot in respecting his elders which in turn has improved his relationships at school. He is now on "re-entry level" for the first time in three years \!!!! [img]:bravo:[/img]Which means that within the next 2 weeks we are having a meeting at his behavorial school about starting him back in mainstream school 3 days a week until the end of this school year and full time next school year. [img]:smile:[/img] We have worked soooo hard and gone through sooo much to get to this point that I am scared to talk about it and "jinx" it but I just had to share some good news. The sad part about all this (and the scary part): 4 years ago our family lost both of difficult child's grandfathers within 6 months of each other. difficult child was very close to both of them and it was definately the start of a very severe down hill slide for him. Now he has developed a really good relationship with Grandma and last Thursday night she suffered a stroke. difficult child won't even go see her. He went to see her in the hospital on Friday and talks to her everyday. Teasing her about chasing him and other jokes between them trying to keep her laughing. He says he will try to go see her today. She is now in rehab and the doctor says she will be there at least about 3 weeks before we will know if she can live on her own again. Oldest easy child went to see her and has broke down crying because she hates seeing Grands like this. I am afraid what it will do to difficult child but he needs to come to terms with the change now because Grands needs all our support so that she won't give up and not try to get better. We are trying to encourage difficult child to learn how to move her and help care for her. (He is 6 feet 2" now and 300 lbs) He seems to like that idea alot. The therapist thinks it will be a good thing. We are all keeping the faith [/QUOTE]
