Well moving day is only 15 hours away and there's too much still undone. The last two days I've done battle with him to get stuff put in boxes.
What a losing battle it was. Now it's countdown time.
I'm sure glad I don't have so much "stuff"! I could get rid of almost all of my possesions and be happy as long as I had the photos of my family. If I lost my sight and couldn't see them I'd be happy with one soft blanket.
When I think about it, it's sad that it takes so much for him to be happy and feel safe, like his world is ok. I truly realize in those moments how much his dad hurt him.
He's coping with a lot of "baggage" from childhood plus his ADD. He's quite lovable. Like a book I got him when he was about 10, called "I Am Lovable" I forget the rest of the title of that book. It's about a child whose self image is torn off piece by piece each day, and how it gets restored. Great book for kids.
Well think I'll go get a cold drink and put my feet up. Tomorrow is a big day.

Just don't over exert yourself emotionally or phisically...
It will be a big adjustment for the both of you, but I know you will both be fine.
