Ugh. It seems like whenever we sit down to do a reasonable amount of homework

(we have a 504) my son starts to have a meltdown. He starts to get intrusive

thoughts about wanting to call me various curse words which then makes him feel

guilty which then leads to him being distracted. I am so frustrated. I don't

think the work he is being asked to do is unreasonable. I try to just remain

neutral...thankfully we see the shrink this week and will increase his

meds...but, man...I just want to scream and cry. My husband and I dread

homework time with him and almost are to the point of picking straws to see

which one of us will have to deal with him. We generally have to tag team

out...one starts and when we reach our breaking point the other has to tag in. I

feel so stuck. I wish the med issue had been easier for him but we have not

been so lucky. He attends a competitive Magnet school where the academics are

rigorous. I see what the 4th graders are doing and feel sick to my stomach

about what awaits him next year. We are the first 504 plan the school has had

to implement for anything like ocd or anxiety so I think they also want to help

but it is a learning curve for them, too. I feel like I am often trying to fit a

square peg into a round hole with him. His triplet brothers breeze through

academics and activities and I know it makes him feel like he is somehow " less "

than them. *sigh* Just having a rough time...if anyone can even relate I would

love to at least not feel so isolated in our struggle. If you have suggestions,

I am all for them!
