JKF, you are doing great! I can't add much to what Child, Cear, and Recovering have said..but know that I know how you feel, where you are in your heart and head. And I know it is good.
He has to be uncomfortable to grow. That is how it is. For some reason with our difficult child's in the past we have not been able to bear their being uncomfortable...we had to step in and fix it, in ways we may not have with our easy child's. And they didn't grow. Now you are being a good parent, and leaving him the space to handle things his own way.
Whatever that looks like.
Today.
Yay!
