This is such a hard one, Dinah. I'm not sure if I understand correctly. Are you trying to get him back into the school he was in before the hurricane, or is this a whole other move that can't be helped? I'm really interested.
I just went through a whole therapy nightmare that really had me connected to my past because my daughter is approaching the age (next week) when some very tough things happened to me. I know it's not coincidental that this would come up now, I know way too much about how our minds work.
In any case, are you projecting onto your son or do the facts back you up? IMO, stability w/kids is one of the most important things and as he moves to the unsteadier phases of puberty, the more stable you can help him make his world, the better off he will be. You want to help so much, but keep a critical "Mom" eye on it as well. You certainly may not be projecting, and for me, that's when I have to be careful. To know that something really is there and I'm not just putting myself into it.
You're doing a great job with him, Dinah.
best,
antigua
