Happy belated Valentines Day! It's been very quiet here since the snowpocolypse. School was cancelled and Alex has been bumping around the house, moaning about not getting texted by anyone. He is sensitive and over-thinks everything. Just looking at Facebook on Valentines Day made him feel angry and shameful ( his words) and he ended up deleting his page. He looks at what other people post and imagines that they are happy and having a great time, and doing it to hurt him? mock him? make him jealous? I dunno. I encouraged him to delete it anyway. If it upsets him that much then it needs to be gone. Social media can be a bitch for kids, especially when they aren't good at emotional regulation.
There isn't much new on the Trans front. The appointment with the endocrine doc is coming up this week and I think we are both hopeful that it at least gets the ball rolling in the right direction. I explained that the doctor wouldn't simply give Alex testosterone on the first visit. There is testing and probably multiple visits in our future.
In related news that effects us all, Avery will be moving into a new group home on the 28th. It's been a long time coming because the new home was just purchased and is going through licensure. I hate the chaos that moving introduces into his life but it a good thing this time. It will take him a month or so to settle in and this will be a much healthier environment for him in the end.
