I started reading this book last night given to me by the school counselor and the first chapter explained my son to a tee. It was the saddest and most amazing moment I think i have experienced. You see, I never wanted to give him a "label" but after the hell we've been through for 6 years we finally are ready to admit that we can't do this alone anymore and after seeing a well versed psychologist name the exact things we see in him it was rewarding to know we are not alone. In fact, I was near tears several times and I only made it through chapter two.
I've been fighting my husband for a long while now but after Monday when things seemed to come to a head he finally agreed that we have to do something. We have talked with several people and now believe that a play therapist recommended by our pastor will be the way to go with him. (of course that is if insurance will cover it)
I am putting some things in place to make a transition at school a little easier and very quickly I have found another mom who is and has been dealing with a lot of the same issues with her son as a support for me. It's totally heartbreaking and exhausting work and I know that I have in no one even begun to touch the tip of the ice berg with this information, but we have a small piece.
We had to start somewhere!
