    Unfortunately, I don’t have any advice on the boundary pushing. My son is developmentally delayed so is still behaving like an infant. I can’t even imagine dealing with typical preteen and teen behavior. I’ll send you some good vibes though!

    I also wanted to have my own unrelated venting session as well.

    My son is medically fragile and got an infection after a major surgery back in November. He’s been home since Christmas but he had to come home with a central line (IV). It has been exhausting for my wife and me. He needs special baths every day and we have to be super careful that his dressing doesn’t get wet or start peeling up.

    And then today the port stopped supplying blood so we might have to take him to a hospital to get a new line put in.

    It’s literally something every day with this IV and the antibiotics he’s getting. Sometimes I wish they didn’t discharge us, but I swear he’s safer at home. We had several nurses and doctors have gross errors while he was recovering.

    Sorry to dump this in your thread man, but it all came bubbling up when I read it
