Today is my son's 1st day of school. He starts the 6th grade. I know when I get him up, he's going to give me a fight. I have things to do today but I don't feel like doing anything. I thing the disease is winning. I've been in contact with my pdoc but I have a lot of stress in my life. I don't how I'm going to make it. I'm so scared of many things.

First days of school can be a real stressor,not just for you,but your son too..maybe that's why he's going to fight you?

Just take deep breaths,be prepared to get him up and out the door,then you have at least part of the day to do the things you want and need to do

Good luck

Maybe he won't fight you. He might even be secretly a little excited about going back to school. I always was.
