Hi to all, hope everyone is well. it has been sometime since i visited the forums, just thought i would pop back to give you an update. I think my last post was at least a year ago because i am now a grandma to a beautiful little girl of 6 months, so a happy ending there despite my shock, horror and fear at the beginning of the pregnancy. son no2 still working no problems another happy ending.
Now i need to take a deep breath compose myself and give you an update on no3 When i last posted we were awaiting a diagnosis for his behavioural issues/problems, we now have the diagnosis of ODD which i am pleased with at least we now have something to work with. On a negative point the diagnoses came to late as he has been permanently excluded from his school since sep 08, his crime?? growing and selling cannabis leaves to a school friend. no amount of persuasion meetings tribunals could convince the school to take him back so for the last 7 months he has had 1 to1 tutoring. He also has a criminal record until he is 18. Have found a school that will take him in a months time but as he has been out of school for so long he has to repeat a year which he is not too happy about. He has lost most of his friends as their parent didn;t want them to associate with a drug dealer. (the saying "walk a mile in someone else shoes" springs to mind.) S o hopefully things are now turning round in our favour time will tell. Thats a shortened version of the last few months events. I do hope you are all coping with your problems.
Hope to hear from some of you
take care
