We finally have a workable plan, at least in theory, to help Emmett get back to school. Again, this is a nonperfect approach to a very challenging and fluid situation, but it's a plan nonetheless. Emmett is dealing with some very serious emotional challenges right now and it's interfering with every aspect of his life, especially school. He's been unable to attend regularly for weeks and that's a major problem. I have a whole team of people working together to help get him through this. The two main options in regards to school were either home instruction or homeschooling. Home instruction is where the school sends a teach out a few days a week to work with Emmett. Homeschooling is much more challenging and basically involves me educating Emmett at…

Just a quick update on Emmett. I haven't heard anything from the school as to what our options are. I did talk to his therapist tonight and our goal is to get him back into the classroom but we also recognize that this will likely be a process. Right now the plan is at home instruction. The details of that will have to be worked out, assuming it ends up being a viable option. The goal is to get him on the road to getting back to school. We're currently brainstorming ideas but the bottomline is this. We have to help him obtain and utilize the tools necessary to get through this. That's proving very challenging. His therapist will have documentation for the school by Friday and that will help…

Emmett didn't go to school today and I took him with me walking this morning. I'm really struggling with this but I still need to take care of myself. It's not a perfect solution but in the absence of any workable options, I'm doing the best I can. All I will say is that what Emmett is going through emotionally is serious enough to limit my options and absolutely must be taken seriously. I should hear back from the school tomorrow about our options. Until then, I'm struggling to keep him above water and moving forward. He's in therapy and getting all the help he needs but nothing is going to fix this. It's a process that he must go through and we need to provide him whatever tools or…

I've spent part of the evening messaging back and forth with the principal at the boys school. We're trying to figure out a solution for Emmett while he's in the state he's in. Being in the classroom is clearly not working out for him right now and so we're looking at a few options. I spoke with Emmett's mom and we feel like school is simply too much for him at the moment. I'm not a fan of pulling him out because I think that it's a bandaid fix and unless we address the underlying issues, this is only going to get worse.. Emmett is still struggling with more shit than he can cope with and it's got him in a darker place right now. I'm the first person he's…
