[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 277519, member: 3184"] Star, what you said is actually part of my torment. Over the last several months difficult child said many times that he did not want to go. Then he would say that he did. I thought part of the problem was that he had no pj's, he just sleeps in his boxers at home. He got to pick out his own pj's so he would have cool ones. After that he repeteadely said he wanted to go, talked about taking a camera and what food he could take on the bus. therapist thought he wanted to go, I did too. Now I wonder if I was pushing him to do what I would have wanted to do, what all the others would have wanted. That is not how I wanted to be with my son. I really do want to let him be himself, to have him be comfortable in his own skin. The school he is going to next year does LOTS of field work, lots of field trips. The 2nd day of school is a field trip that they usually do not allow parents on, but I have already been invited to go. I am now wondering if this is the school for him. He does not have to go there, it is a charter school. Many other things about it would be great for him, it is small, active learning, and does not shove square pegs in round holes, or however the saying goes. Right now I am doubting every decision I have ever made, and not in a good place. I will not stay in this place long. Guess I should not have cancelled my therapy appointment next week? Not probably the best way to try to save money. [/QUOTE]
