Melt Downs Narrative
Jeff,
This whole thing with nick is not working out. Like you said when he has melt downs I text him asking him to call. I’ve done this three or four times. At best he responds next day, if he responds at all. He does ask if there’s another time he can call. I give him one and then he doesn’t call.
More than helping Calvin it seems be torturing him. His melt downs are more frequent and more intense. Such as tonight at the library, he had six homework problems to do, and he said he felt overwhelmed. He argued with me and went to time out. When he got out he was in tears saying daddy was talking to him in his head. He was saying “I love you my little boy”. Later when using a shower he was wailing and again said that daddy was talking to in his head. And now has …show more content…
He cried and screamed so I took him to the Y and made him run the track. That took a little bit of edge off of his anxiety. Just enough for me to put up with him. Calvin has now been telling me for few weeks he just doesn’t feel like himself. I think he is really sad. He’s fine in the moment when we see Nick but afterwards he says he feels that his whole world is that control.
I talk to his pediatrician and he will prescribe anything because of his age. So last night I read online some studies involving children in saint john’s wort, it sounds like it has a chance to work so it ordered often Amazon. But after that I’m out of options. He’s is so much pain and nothing helps. After seeing Nick he misses him now more than ever.
As far as nick and I go its one way communication. I commutate to him and pretty much get nothing back. I know we are very different schedules but if this is going to work communication needs to be both ways in at least 5050 or maybe even 6040 to his side.
Something needs to change and change quickly because this is not fair Calvin to inflict more pain.
If you have any ideas I am all
