Had art therapy yesterday, our regular therapist was out of the office.  We had to agree as a family on a picture to draw and draw it.  It was ok, didn't really get anything out of it.  I did like the way the art therapist talked to stepson about his anger.  She suggested that he picks arguments with his dad for no reason, which is so true.  She wasn't babying him like I feel our other therapist does at times.  He is 13 and needs to take responsiblity for his actions.  My stepson's grandmother called yesterday to ask if he could come down for their family reunion.  We're going to let him go which means 3 weeks of freedom! I would feel bad except my husband is the one who said it was going to be like a vacation for us first.  So, I am excited about that.  I can hug my husband without having to worry about stepson getting mad (which he does whenever we are affectionate with one another).  It's going to be great!  Now I can plan my 2 year old's bday party without fear of stepson being jealous and upset too.  It's going to be great!
