Reality Has Set In...

Ozzy's therapist has been in close contact with us. When I spoke with him the other day, he used described Ozzy in the perfect way. He explained that he is not just playing with "firecrackers" with the things he is choosing to do, but instead he is playing with "bombs". It totally made sense to me.  Then the guilt set in. Where did I fail my son? What could I have done differently.

The next time I heard from the therapist, he explained reality had set in from Ozzy. Ozzy realized this wasn't going to be a picnic and wasn't what he thought it would be. That Ozzy is very likable and a lot of times that can enable a person. He said when a kid is so likable, we tend to go easier on them. He said Ozzy was pretty upset about having to get a haircut too! At that moment, I want to rush to Ozzy's side and give him a hug and tell him it's going to be okay and that we didn't send him their as a punishment, but to help him. I want so much more for my kids and sometimes do know how to do it correctly or effectively. I want whats best for my kids, but tend to do things my way of thinking not the way I should.

I am anxious for the first phone call with him. Will he talk to me? How angry is he?
