tillamook, so wonderful to hear he's finding his feet again! Huge happy smiles your way.

It's a really horrible feeling to have a child facing that kind of anxiety and not be able to magically fix it for them, but your support and steadiness through this time has brought him through. As he hopefully gets more at ease and settled in over the next months, one lesson I have learned the hard way is that now is the time to do everything you can to confront the issues that got him to such a bad state before. When they're anxious, they really can't hear you. So when there aren't issues - that's the time to address the issues. Can't say I've really gotten good at this, just learned that I need to work a lot more at it. Thank god for the parents on this board.
