I have not posted in some time. There were lots of ideas, but a lack of time and mental energy (mana).
Things got really wild and out of control the last few weeks; So wild that i decided to stop playing WOW. for those of you who don't know me well, that is HUGE. WOW is about the only hobby I have.
Here's what happened:
Over winter break we let our routines slip. not huge for most families, but for special needs families that is the number one rule. I had not realized how grounded in routine the little Lock is. The Druid is not as grounded in them and actually thrived on this lax schedule. I did not really see what was happening until the day the Priest went back to work. the lock lost it. BIG TIME.
From the trip to take Priest to lunch, to snack time, until Priest got home (over an hour late i might add). I can take tantrums, but the constant stream of WHINING got to me. I lost it. BIG TIME.
Not my best mothering moment--or hour--day even. I screamed. For an hour. I said things I regret. the Lock went to school 2 days later and repeated those words using his teacher's names. Then each day got worse at home and at school. A week later, he bit the teachers aide.
By now I noticed that I am handling this all better than I would if I were raiding 4 hours the nights before. so i talked to the Guild and explained and felt them all turn away from me. I will get over that.
This leaves us (his teachers and providers and parents) trying to figure out how to help (not fix) the lock.
