Focus on Me and the Boys 10

[J5K]

On the plus side, I have a lot of vacation that I am taking which allows me to catch up on reorganizing in the apartment.

I get an email from S6's teacher, he has a laundry list of aggressive behavior yesterday.

I forward the email to L, L says to talk to the psychologist from the D proceedings and get a referral to a good child psychologist. Calling her later today.

Not sure how to communicate this to XW as I know the response will be "they want to live with me".

I spoke with S6 in a very calm voice and asked him to come and sit next to me. I asked him if he had a good day, he actually told the truth and said no and started to go down the list of things he did.

I asked him why he is so angry and he said he is angry about mom and I and that he wants us to be together. I gave him lots of hugs and said that we both love him and things will be ok and that if the anger comes back that he can come and talk to me and we will figure out how to get rid of the anger. I told him I will always be there for him.

S6 has been the most problematic with behavior but the others are starting to escalate also. I signed S8 up in some art expression at school which the social workers recommended at the school to help him.

Need to figure out what to do for S7. S4 has always been defiant but his behavior is starting to get worse in daycare and of course S2 is starting to mimic the older brothers.

IDK, sometimes I feel like I am not doing the right thing. That I should let XW cake eat and try and do things as a family and be more flexible and build a friendship with her and maybe who knows one day.
