[QUOTE="StressedM0mma, post: 555008, member: 13204"] SJ, I completely understand where you are coming from. My difficult child was in the same situation last year, and we had a little flare up of it this year. It is so hard to watch your child fall apart in front of your eyes, and do not know how to fix it. I am going to agree with the others, and say it sounds as if the anxiety is super high right now. And, it is frustrating when they can't/won't tell you what is wrong. Is there a possibility that he is being bullied? It is important to break the cycle, before it becomes a habit. Last year I fell into the trap of letting her stay home when she would cry or act super anxious. I felt bad for her. HUGE mistake. You have to take him to school even if he is crying screaming and stomping his feet. It got to a point last year when difficult child was getting better, and I would bribe her to go to school. If you go 3 days in a row we will go out for icecream. If you go all week, we will go shopping and you can pick out a new top. I found her "currency" and used it. This year her flare up happened when I went on vacation and she was home with husband for a week. She was "sick" for 3 days. When I got back, I would make sure I was not in PJs when I would take her to school, and if she started at all, I would park the car, and start to get out. All it took was me opening the car door to send her running into school. (How uncool would it be to have your mom get you out of the car to go to HS.) Long story short, if you can get him into therapy, and get him started on some anxiety medications at least temporarily I think it would give all of you a break and a chance to get a handle on it.
