I Am So Relieved

This afternoon Josh came upstairs and asked to talk to me. He said he wanted to discuss getting his Xbox back. We discussed the incident that was, afterall, all about his Xbox. The incident that caused me to be injured. He expressed sincere regret. He talked about school and how he is doing. I told him I was really proud of him for going five weeks with no problems in the morning, here at home or at school. He has been getting up when prompted, getting ready for school and making it out to the bus in time. Neither his mom or I have had to repremand him on any issues. I had been totally freaked out after the incident. I didn't know how to handle it. I had kept his Xbox hidden and I hadn't even spoken to Josh that much, usually only when spoken to. I had been hurt and angry about what happened and didn't want to say anything I would be sorry for. I didn't know how to handle it so I let it go until I felt better. Then I got involved with the home nursing thing, trying to find transportation to medical appointments, etc. So, today he made the gesture and we started over from the beginning before anything happened. So much time has gone by I think we can put whatever was before to rest and go forward now. I am relieved and so happy to set forth with a new beginning. He knows the rules, regrets what happened, has been doing real well so I hope that continues.
