[QUOTE="hexemaus2, post: 194421, member: 4560"] Today has actually been an unusual Sunday for us. Tomorrow is difficult child 2's first day back at public school since the 3rd grade (he's a freshman in hs now.) I've spent most of the day trying to keep him busy so he wouldn't start to stress. For the last two hours, I let difficult child 1 have some of her friends over that difficult child 2 really likes. We've all been in the living room talking to difficult child about what to expect tomorrow, things the other kids are trying to fill in for him that "Mom just wouldn't know" - kids he shouldn't hang out with, what he should do if the other kids try to tell him to do something he's not sure he should do, etc. (I'm letting his sister talk to him about that so he can handle himself and still feel like he's being "cool.") It's actually been the most relaxing Sunday I've spent in months! Usually, around this time every night difficult child 2 is having trouble holding back his outbursts. With the new medications & school starting tomorrow, I think he's probably had the best evening (Sunday or not) in I couldn't tell you how long!! I know he's really enjoyed all of his "friends" coming over to help him out on his last night before we set him loose into his own little world. :) (He said earlier that he understands why his big sis (easy child) was so excited about moving out, getting married, and having her own life. He said he feels like that's sort of what I'm letting him do with public school.) [/QUOTE]
