I picked DS up from vacation with ex. He is clingy to me and gets upset when I leave the room. He runs over to me crying that hes scared hes back at ex's. He wont talk much about what they did except that he was called a spoiled brat and it made him cry. He is adjusting back to our rules which is slow going.

On another note DS entered sone artwork into a contest and two pieces won awards! So proud of my little artist! We hung up all his artwork he entered around the house. He missed the awards ceremony while he was with ex but I accepted them for him and im excited to show him(another disappointment...ex promised DS to bring him to the ceremony then was a no show). Im just so proud of him.

Im just glad to get DS back into a routine. Im sure itll benefit him.

    I'm sorry it seems that DS didn't enjoy his time with ex :(. And the adjusting phase sucks.
    But congrats to DS for the art awards! I'm sure he's proud you hung all the work around the house :).
    How old is your DS again?

    DS turned 6 a few months ago. He does see a difference between households and ex's girlfriend enjoys being nasty to DS. I was putting him to bed and he started to flip out crying and asking me to stay with him because robbers are going to break in and kill us all. Thats just the tip of the iceburg of what he gets told.

    The adjustment phase is difficult mainly because hes so clingy and scared. We have to work hard to make him feel safe all over again before we can work on other behavior issues. Then we can start rebuilding his confidence. Its a long road...I hate it when hes gone this long.

    When DS saw his artwork he got pretty excited. His face lit up and he giggled. It was short lived but I tried to focas on him for as long as possible to make him feel accomplished and special. Its just hard to hear him so down on himself when he comes back. I wish things were different for him :(
