I'm so pissed at my mom.

I typically talk to her every day, but I didn't call yesterday because I felt like crap. Vertigo - probably related to stress.

Call this morning and tell her that the discussion about participation seems to have had an impact on the oldest.

"OK, but just know that taking this away could make him less motivated."

I told her I understood, and we will be looking at a number of things. But pulling pep band finally seems to have captured his attention.

More pushback.

Remind her of all of the other things we are doing: meeting with the teacher, doctor's appointment because he is presenting as very confused at times (my husband is diabetic and zoned out if his sugar is low), revisiting the special ed testing from seven years ago because he does have an auditory issue.

Totally dismissive. So, I said that I really wanted her to say she thinks I've got a very good plan - covering everything.

She refused. And I hung up her. Called back later. And ended up hanging up again.
