Al - sorry to hear about the health problems in the family. Keep us posted.
Kid coming home for a bit may not be an all bad thing.
I think we all second guess ourselves and our parenting at times, but the thing is, you really only have so much influence. In the end, they're gonna do what they're gonna do, and make their own choices. (Just like we have in life.)Yeah... might be good to have him home for a few months before sending him off again...
Of course I keep circling the "what ifs" and "could I have done whatever better" in my brain.
But what is... just is.
And if he is home I can keep a close eye on him while we try out and adjust meds... and hold his hand while he starts up the online college that I THINK might be a good fit for his brain.
It is interesting the "deficits" that came up in his testing.
But a friend of mine said that clearly he IS capable of taking care of himself and getting things done (and the testing said he would need a life coach and skills coach, etc. in order to live on his own) So clearly I haven't ruined the boy by homeschooling him... and clearly I have already taught him those skills... he just needs a bit more help with the ADHD so that he can succeed at boring stuff... like college classes.
Good friend... I clearly needed to hear that....
I think it will all work out.
