regarding the shyness...our son never liked his picture taken. He still doesn't. For his 3rd birthday party we had a bunch of neighbor kids over, he wouldn't come out of his room. LOL At school things, (he's in 3rd grade now), he won't dance or sing. He just stands there. He just marches to his own beat, which is fine with me, and his dad is gradually adjusting to accept it also.
M 19 years, MC for 8 months, DB'd for 8 months 4 kids; 18, 15, 14, & 10 I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
