[quote=Anonymous]Update.

So my nephew came home from the hospital on Saturday. Yesterday was his first day back at school. 
He spent 3 hours sitting in the principles office because he got into a fist fight with another student.

My Sister was at a job interview when he got home, so I was the one home that had heard about it first.

I asked my nephew what happened and he told me he didn't want to talk about it. He said that his Mom told him that if he didn't want to talk about something, then he didn't have to and he wanted to wait until she got home.

I said, "Okay, but you need to start in on your homework then" 
To that, he basically balled his fist up and told me that being told what to do is a "trigger" for him and that he could walk out the door and leave if he wanted too.

I texted my Sister letting her know what was going on, that everything was ok, but that I wanted her to be aware of what was going on because he said he was going to go to his room to call her.

She came home from the interview and went directly to his room where they stayed for the rest of the night until it came time for dinner.

I knocked on the door to tell them, "Time to eat" 
They both came out, chatted about the weather, acting like nothing happened.

As they ate, I said, "What happened at school?" 
She said, "Bobby got into a fist fight but it totally wasn't his fault and he's okay though and he learned a lesson"

Then she said, "I would appreciate it next time if he has something happen at school, if he doesnt want to talk about it, dont ask about it again. it's one of his triggers"

I said, "I didnt, i asked him to do his homework"

She didn't say much at all. Then this morning I woke up to a text from her saying, "Bobby and I are moving out today. i appreciate all your help and love you but Bobby needs to be handled differently than other kids right now and my therapist and I both agree he's being handled appropriately"

I told her I felt she was overreacting. She said she wasn't. Now my Mom is mad at me for all of this...
