Well, I guess school work is going much better, but we are an absolute mess at home. She come in the door crying after school and is freaked out and worried about everything under the sun.
The other night there was a parent's night at school and she was hysterical in tears because she was so worried that I would be disappointed with her for not finishing coloring the sky on her picture today. Once I assured her that I would not be unhappy with her for anything at school she started in about how worried she is about summer. "Oh, woe is me, summer is just so hot and I just get so hot so fast and I just can't stand it!" type stuff, only in serious distress! Sobbing and wailing like her dog had just died or something!!
She hasn't slept the night in her own bed for over a week now. She's scared of everything! Last night she said she couldn't stop thinking about the zombie movie her step-brothers "made" her watch that was too scary. Nightmares, noises, you name it, she's worried about it. She seems to think she has to have actual skin-to-skin contact with me at all times or she panics like a toddler with separation anxiety. Even when she's sleeping with me, she's whimpering in her sleep! This is not working.
