Gima and Gardener,

Yeah, he is very bright, gifted actually. We had to have him tested in the 1st grade because of his behavior. They told us he also has "oppositional defiance disorder- ODD". Read up on that, not a pleasant combination. They say it is torture for him to sit for more than 15 minutes at a time. He is in 3rd grade and has been in a different school every year, trying to find one that is a good fit is hard. I thought I was going to have to quit working a couple of years ago and homeschool him.

He is just really up and down a lot lately, gets angry over the smallest things. I have a feeling he could be fearful of our M ending; he is very observant and has been exposed to H's thoughts unfairly on a few occasions.

No real interaction with H this week so far, except he told me he wants to go to CT (MIL lives there) for Thanksgiving weekend. Thing is, I was denied the day after Thanksgiving at work, so I can't go anywhere. I got no indication of whether or not he still wants to go and take the boys, can't imagine staying home on a holiday without them, but they DO want to see their cousins ( we have no family where we live). I'll have to think this through.
