You Make Me Sick

Well now Alex is making me pay for leaving him for 24 hours. He even admits that is true and keeps right on going. He started immediately when we got home yesterday. Chris left to go to the Y and Alex started yelling, crying and screaming. I made him do a few jumping jacks. When he finished he yelled "You make me sick mom." What a telling sentence. Yes. Moms do make him sick. Emotionally. I went in to hug him and tell him he was going to be ok and that we would make it through all this together. He would not let me in but only repeated that he did not deserve to do jumping jacks and that I was so mean. Such huge fear and sadness.
