[QUOTE="slsh, post: 162806, member: 8"] PW, Good to see you again! What a tough situation. I know I'm quite PTSD from old thank you, but the fact that the emergency shelter refused to extend his stay because of "incidents" really just screams BEWARE to me. I do think it was very good that it was emphasized to him that his return home was not the result of his improved behaviors. I think it's also pretty impressive he's back in his home school and, it sounds like, working on some pretty typical social skills. Your willingness to give concrete suggestions to the school can only work in his favor, especially since the school is receptive (have to admit, I'm really awed by this working relationship!). Is the same level of cooperation expected in the HS setting? What will Junior be doing this summer to keep him engaged and occupied? And of course the big question, how much honeymooning does Junior do and do you anticipate the end of the honeymoon to be spectacular or manageable? Oh my gosh, Mom's illness really throws a wrench in there. My heart just sank to read that. The stresses on that family really must be unimaginable. I hope that it will be treatable and that Junior is able to deal with it using appropriate supports. Sigh... sometimes you just have to wonder why some folks have to face such challenges. Thanks for the update - Junior and his family are getting a lot of positive thoughts from me. [/QUOTE]
