update to last post

Just an update to my last post about V and his love letter.  Of course, as his mother I do have to be cautious so I asked his teacher if the young lady was in his class, I did NOT say anything about the note.

Which is why I was completely shocked when he says (in a not so happy tone), "Mom why did you ask my teacher about Jillian.  Geez, why did you do that?" 

Lots of things went through my mind like:

Why did the teacher tell him?
I didnt say anything about the note...
Is he embarassed?
Is he in trouble?
Will he ever trust me again..

I did apologize and said it wasn't bad, what I asked I just wanted to make sure you were okay!

He turned to the window and sulked.

I felt kinda stupid then.  Maybe, there is a time that even as the mother of a special needs child, I need to just back off and let it all play out.  Then, again, the world is a cruel place.
