I totally understand. Just wanted to add to my previous posts that for my son things HAVE gotten a lot better for my son. Sixth grade was terrible and you almost wouldn't recognize him now. He is 16 and a sophomore in H.S. and he just got back from a week long spring break trip with his band. That isn't to say he is perfect but as he has matured he has learned to handle his emotions better. I don't have a lot of advice except to hang in there and get the evaluation so you know best how to help him.
