[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 60613, member: 1835"] Oh, I'll ABSOLUTELY be coming around. I know very well that, when our son returns home, this will simply be the beginning. I feel much stronger than I used to, but, as I've said before, I think it's only the fact that my son is at a distance that I've been fairly successful in resisting many of his attempts to manipulate me. I'm not all that certain that it's going to be that easy when he's here, however. But, as you said, Sunny, even though he may not be putting everything together, he IS learning. And, I have seen some signs of that. For example, he's taking a computer class which is required for graduation in the school district he's attending but wasn't at home. Thus, although he's proficient using various computer PROGRAMS, he isn't all that much so with actual computer operations. During our therapy session the other day, I suggested that he could easily learn the answers to the questions he read to me from his worksheet if he was actually sitting in front of a computer, and I offered (realizing right after I said it that it wouldn't be a good idea, given his circumstances) to send him a laptop. His response was, "Mom, I really don't think you sending me a laptop here would be appropriate." I thought, WOW, who are you and what have you done with my son? [/QUOTE]
