Dear Lori:

You wrote in your reply to another member: “The current things I’m trying to do are like keep my household quiet and calm“- excellent, Lori: : there is nothing anxious kids need more than calm parents and a quiet household. So please continue to keep yourself as calm and your home as quiet as it is possible for you.

“I give him plenty of space, I tell him ok I’d like to check in sometime today please let me know when you’d like to talk“- again, excellent: kids need emotional support and space/ privacy.

“My son’s father…  is not able to accept the fact that it’s over for us and that happened when our son was two and a half… He’s been in therapy since I left his dad“- do you mean that your high school junior son has been in therapy ever since he was 2.5 years-old or close to that age?

“So the current (therapist) he’s been with for ten years… I know that he’s suffering from anxiety but I’m not sure which disorder because I’m no dr“- all these years in therapy and no diagnosis or diagnoses were made in regard to your son?

“I’ve scheduled meetings, I’ve spoken with my son and his psychologist at school.. I’m taking him to therapy today, he’s seeing a psychiatrist on Monday“- you are very caring and active mother in regard to your son’s welfare. I admire you for this!

There is a lot more that you shared, and if you’d like, we can communicate in regard to all that you shared (and all that you will share) over time. I wish you and your son well and hope to read more from you (I will soon be away from the computer for much of the day).
