Complete 180

Just when things were starting to get better with the kiddo...he has done a complete 180.  I am not sure what has happened, but I am hoping that things start to get better soon!   Part of me is wondering if his revert has something to do with the fact that last week we found out that his therapist is leaving.  His therapist did tell Brian this week that Brad has been very resistant to the change that is coming.  I have asked him if he is upset about his therapist leaving and he said No, but deep down I think that it is bothering him.  It has been tough for me as well, as I felt like I was just starting to get comfortable with her as OUR therapist and I do feel like we are going to be starting from scratch again.  I really truly feel that this is kicking his anxiety into high gear and what we are seeing is the result of this.  For me, it is frustrating to watch this and to also be on the receiving end of his explosions!  For my own piece of mind, I am going to have to make the phone call that I have been dreading to his therapist and explain all of this to her and to get some advice on how to deal. It has been tough for me to get to Brad's therapy appointments as I have had a lot going on at work, so Brian has been taking Brad to his appointments.  While I appreciate this, it also frustrates me because I sometimes feel like Brian sugar coats some the issues and doesn't feel comfortable talking about things.  Also, Brian does not see Brad's outbursts as they always happen during the evening hours when it is just the kiddo and I.  So my goal for this week, to put on my big girl pants and make the phone call to the therapist!!
