[QUOTE="Jena, post: 389978, member: 4514"] Andy Hi, i'm glad you had a great time and i'm glad you like the new puppy. Puppies really can make you smile, and bring pee as well as happiness into a home :) As far as difficult child's anxiety goes, it doesn't sound too bad to me. I find alot of times with-our kids that do have anxiety they are very symptomatic, I think it's also due to the heightened anxiety and the fact they are sooo attuned to the inner workings of their bodies. Whether it be their breathing, or hearts, ears, etc. Not that i'm any great parent at this being i have difficult child who is now not eating lol, yet truth is i put it back on difficult child alot when she complains of pains, nervousness, etc. Instead of "giving" her the answers I plop it back on her by saying "what do you think you need to do to make yourself feel better?". your difficult child has def. been taught the tools, you have been a great staunch advocate for him I agree bigtime, and he's a super smart kid yet I just feel like our job with these difficult child's of ours' is to become non essential in a sense in their lives. I always think with almost each week that passes I want her to not NEED me as much as she does. Simple truth is someday we won't be here. May sound dramatic yet it's the truth. I'm soo glad he did well, he knew what he needed that being going to a friends house, he problem solved in a sense his own issue and that in itself is huge. Mine does that sometimes, yet now with the increased time with-me she's becoming reliant again on me too much. Honestly what you explain we see everyday with-difficult child all day long. This hurts, that hurts, i'm nervous, etc. yet she's also smart and she tends to be manipulative and craves attention. so there's always that "behavioral" piece in play. i'Tourette's Syndrome almost like i have to sit back and say ok is this pure anxiety talking or "her" manipulation and constant need for attention. it's a mix up on certain days. you've been thru hell and back with-him, and done an awesome job. i think the both of you know how bad it can be, and maybe are a bit nervous too NATURALLY of going down that same road again. Just try to remember just as you as a parent are filled with-wisdom due to the past, so is he. I'm so glad you guys got a break, soo healthy what you did. I am a fan of you at this point.
