[QUOTE="buddy, post: 484342, member: 12886"] Malika, I will be totally honest....I would want the suffering to stop for both of us. BUT mainly for him. I could stop the suffering in some ways for me if I wanted to, that is, I know if I said I can't do this there are many out there who would say, yeah he need to be locked up. Those who only see him in the bad times. I have never once felt that. He has a good quality of life when he is doing well, and every single day there is something good. If it ever changed I would look at it again, but for now, he is making gains. I am strongly holding on to this summer and seeing how good it can be. My choice now is whether I can do this traditional school thing since it adds so much stress to his life. It is a big discussion piece AWAY from school. (they will never know, because how I will pull it off yet I dont know...but am working on that with the lawyer). I picture some combination of horseback riding therapy year round, there is a guy who does therapy dogs, there are "home school" community ed classes like pottery that he would LOVE and has done some of at my expense.... and maybe some direct teaching with a homebound teacher for kids with autism that the district already has hired so since I now know that... heeeeheeee heeee... maybe we can do something there. I really want him to finish 8th though because it is important to him. But not if things keep going this way. I know a mom in the district next to us who got the school to PAY her to teach difficult child at home for years! since I am a teacher (she was not) I am going to ask her how she worded that and see if I can do some of the hours taking him places/mileage etc. I would for sure like the borrow the magic wand please, yes I would take it all away from him....had one of those "its not fair" moments when at the school library and kids were passing through between classes talking which team they were on...(breaking dawn) and I thought, I really wish something like that, with all the teasing and silliness they were showing....
