I think we're actually making some progress. Family session was good yesterday. She got a little sulky during and afterward, but she didn't let it control her. She actually pulled herself out of it and managed conversation and consideration. It was ... mature. Very mature. Hooray! And now they are back to discussing the possibility of transitioning her back into school - and she's excited about it. She might even start the transitioning tomorrow. That would be fabulous!

As for me, I'm trying really hard to accept things for what they are. It's been so many years of extreme ups and downs that the ups - while nice - usually make me very anxious because I know that an equally extreme down is coming. I'm trying to just take it one day - one emotion - at a time. Maybe by doing this we can all work together to minimize the extremes and just BE.
