Still moving in a new direction

[mleigh4]

Thank you Job. I agree, it seems H is just now seeing, after being a year on his own, that things are not going quite as planned. At least he sure is not acting like he is in a very happy place! Well, at least I know he is progressing on his journey, just PAINFULLY slow.

Thank you again for taking the time to read and respond. I am scared to even reply to him, but won't ignore it either. I will say what we planned and keep it short.

The gaming is a big issue, but I honestly don't know what else H expects him to do? No sports interest S yet, he doesn't want to play outside by himself.... my question is this, would it be ok if S was addicted to playing an instrument? Reading books? Building things with wood or metal blocks? Well, instead, he is building and creating, problem solving, on a computer. These are not mindless games. It takes a lot of planning and thinking. However, I do agree that taking a break, being social, and getting outside with nature is a balance you need with any hobby, and I do encourage that with our son and have some things planned on our upcoming weekends, including a picnic and hike, and a trip to see a show at the planetarium.

I hope our counseling helps us.
