[QUOTE="JRC, post: 708829, member: 21147"] Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Pigless thank you for saying not to go there with the schizophrenia. I know I shouldn't. It helped to have someone say it though. I do enough worrying about it with DS#3. Maisy he does have hobbies i.e. we ski on weekends, he plays drums and likes theatre. BUT the problem is that he's pulling away from them: i.e. wouldn't do the musical this fall. Didn't do jazz band this year (I only found out weeks into school starting that he'd dropped it). He'll ski with us but won't interact with our friends when they come with us. He's slowly isolating himself. Do I think he's depressed? Yes. And Pigless you're right, middle school is tough. And *this* middle school is tough. Lots of type A parents with type A kids all on the ivy league track. There is a joke in the school system that if you're getting Bs your failing. Not too much pressure, huh? SWOT I'll reach out to ds#3's therapist and get a referral and also ask his opinion (he's actually a psychiatrist but is DS#3's therapist). But I'm worried that he'll be one of those kids that won't participate and won't open up. Hopefully this is all a phase and he'll be fine in 3 months. Little :censored2:. He's supposed to be my easy child! [/QUOTE]
