Back to Square One again
Well, Josh says
"I don't feel good" first thing in the morning. I couldn't get him on the bus and I couldn't even get him out of the apartment. Our family is stuck in the mud with this. He is having major anxiety attacks over school and he can't see beyond what he himself feels. We can't seem to connect with him to
A. Make him unafraid of school
B. Make him understand what sort of position this put us in. He doesn't get it. Reason and logic go out the window with him. It's all about what Josh feels and that's it.
We work so hard, but we seem to be taking more steps backward than foward with him. My wife and I are stressed to the max and I don't know how much more we can take as parents.
We feel like utter failures because of this, even though we are doing what people are saying.
It's also hard to find help too. My wife would love to find a job, but who is going to watch Josh? We have family, but that's one thing that family won't do. They won't watch him(except of my mom, but she is a good distance away).
I pray to the Lord:
