I need some help on how to support him. I was first diagnosed when he was four so I know this has been a rough two years for him. A few weeks ago he started talking about wanting to stay home and be homeschooled. He has said he wants me to homeschool him because we do not get much time together. Then this past Friday i had conference with his 1st grade teacher. She was telling me about a story he had written based on a picture. The picture had a man, two kids, and a horse. Andrew wrote "The dad was taking the kids out for a walk. Mom was not with them because she died." He still talks about the time I was in the hospital and says he was sad because "it was like I was dead." I am so heart-broken that he has been feeling like this. Any ideas on how I can help ressure him that it is all going to be okay?
