That's a relief, sort of.

Well, good news about Alex I guess. We don't think he's being abused anymore. Thursday he came to school with what looked like some pretty nasty gouges on his arm. Of course I brought him to the office and the principal called protective services. He kept insisting the monster in his closet was responsible but that's just silly. Obviously we were worried one of his parents had done it and he was covering for him. Well, after social services looked into it and had a doctor check him out the determination was that it was more likely that the gouges were self inflicted. Probably during a nightmare about the monster in his closet which is why he blames it. I'm still a little worried about him but his parents are getting him into therapy to deal with this closet monster issue.
