[QUOTE="Star*, post: 218376, member: 4964"] Weenie - We do "it" just like you do. We dive in, do our best, learn to hold our breath longer than most mothers and WALK away and gather our thoughts when we're at the brink. Sounds to me like you're the one running out of gas. (sorry) lol. Call the district's school psychiatrist or someone who is in the district office OVER all the psychologists and tell them you must get some help. Can he offer a mentor /shadow for your son to ride the bus with? The SD CAN pay for this if you push it through his IEP. Can you afford a taxi? Can you find another Mom in the neighborhood and ask her to help you? Can the school send his assignments home and get dropped off by another neighbor kid? Or teacher? Or psychologist? Does he need to go inpatient for being a danger to self and others for a medications tweak? Can you get RESPITE through some agency where foster people take your son for a weekend so you can recouperate? Hang tough kiddo - You're on the right path.....and you are a TERRIFIC Mom with a kid that is making poor choices. Can he WALK home? (I did that to Dude once when he got booted from the bus. OMG I even chained his bike up outside the school and everything) Told him as I dropped him off in the morning - THERE is your bike.....ride home, key under mat, under pain of death don't touch a thing." and then .....picked him up later that day, put the bike in the trunk and said - IF YOU EVER get kicked off the bus for your poor choices - YOU wlil figure out HOW YOU will get HOME......I'm NOT coming to get you....and I meant it. The walk was nearly 3 miles. He never goofed on the bus again and this kid didnt' care about ANYTHING. Don't make it your problem - let him figure it out and stop relying on you to fix it when he messes up. He has to repeat 5th grade? So be it. Pushing him through is not going to help. HIS CHOICE. But - you can amend his IEP to help him. (your choice) Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
