[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 497914, member: 2960"] Thanks, everyone, for your support. Just knowing you folks are there is very helpful. He wouldn't talk last night. Amazingly, the school is insisting he come to school today! [It's a regular school day, after all, and there were children who didn't go on the trip still going to school.] So now he is supposed to go to school dog-tired, angry, ashamed, and somehow participate in school activities, including a "welcome back" pizza lunch for the returning campers? My mind reeled. Now, I'm hearing this second-hand since I didn't go pick him up. Even easy child (who isn't very easy child these days) is amazed. "He got home at midnight! And they think he's going to behave? He barely behaves when he's had a full night's sleep!" A 13-year-old gets it... I realize he has to face them all for "the first time" sometime and there is an advantage to getting it all over with so it isn't hanging over his head all weekend. But it's good to face the world fully rested. Sigh. Thanks again -- and I will definitely focus on letting him know I was proud of him for holding it together for as long as he did. [/QUOTE]
