[QUOTE="Malika, post: 458376, member: 11227"] Thanks Marg. :) How is life with you in your (far) corner of the world? Yes, it would be good to think that J can cope with these differences in the longer term - at the moment I'm feeling like both he and his adoptive father do not particularly want to see each other again... My ex husband told me he had found him very difficult, aggressive, oppositional, etc - without knowing what went on in detail, I would imagine that being hit was making J far more oppositional and difficult. My ex's mother, on the other hand, spoke about J being adorable, helpful, etc (though very hyperactive). I have discovered a school called "The Forest School" which is in a big town on the western coast of France. It is set in acres of woodland and some of the curriculum takes place outside, taking care of animals, gardening and discovering nature. As a nature lover, I think this would suit J down to the ground. It is private but under contract to the state, which usually means they are not very expensive. Property in that town is very expensive and I wouldn't be able to buy there - would have to rent a small flat and then try to buy somewhere out in the country where we would go on weekends. Could work. It would be so good if J could be in a school environment where he isn't in some sense being forced into a hole that is the wrong shape for him - guess we can all recognise that feeling?
