November 30, 2012 is the last time SS14 spent the night with his BM. I will never forget that night, he ran away from her home and FDH was out all night looking for him. Since then he has refused to go back with her. Then out of the clear blue sky on Sunday afternoon BM picks up SS for a haircut, then he calls to say he is spending the night! and then again last night! He has been gone for two nights!!! My FDH is a different person when SS isn’t around, he laughs more and is more relaxed as dealing with SS's emotional issues and development delays is so stressful. We haven’t had a break in over 4 months. It was so nice and peaceful. AND, he started his new special school yesterday. It was a trial period for 2 days. That's a huge relief since he hasn’t been in a normal classroom setting since January. Finally, we are getting our life back!
