The ugly truth is that this is only going to get worse with time. With Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, no one knows where the train is going to stop. He could plateau at some point but he hasn’t yet. All his other physical and emotional health issues, make things more complicated.
It’s heartbreaking… 😢
Putting all of this aside, I need to be a leader and change the course my family is currently on today. Normally I would suggest going to a movie or something, because that would capture their focus and pull them out of their current demeanor.
Unfortunately, this is a bad month for things like that and the boys are still under the weather. My immediate thought is to take them to the Garden Center, let them get some sun and catch some Pokémon. This would be a short trip because I don’t want to overdue things, but we need to deviate from our current course before we crash.
For the record:
This entry is not meant to be negative but rather provide insight into the struggles we are facing as a family today. Some people will read this and find comfort in my words, while others may view this as simply me being negative.
To each their own I suppose… ☺
I don’t find what you are saying to be negative, just lazy. There are soooo many things you can do for free. And you keep mentioning ‘this month’ is short. I’ve read your blog for 9 years and this is pretty much the norm for you isn’t it?
Wow… Okay.. Thanks for your candor. This isn’t lazy at all. We do free stuff all the time. This month is bad. We’ve been doing pretty good recently. Thanks for your thoughts…
Apparently you get too many judgmental readers, Rob. I don’t understand people who think tearing down another is helpful.
Becky, some people just tend to judge. Most of those people are no longer commenting and the rest you all are amazing… ☺
