I love my fiance to death. There's no question there and what he is doing is something he thinks is helping me and my son. He truly believes that he is helping and I feel so bad because he really isn't helping at all and I don't know how to explain it to him without destroying his ego and making him feel terrible.
So basically my son (almost 7) has some behavioral issues that the school is now evaluating him for. They are thinking possible ADHD or Autism Spectrum. They started the evaluation 3 weeks ago but the person evaluating him has only met with my son once, despite them supposed to have met with him more than that. It has been an absolute headache because in the meantime my son's behaviors at school are becoming worse and more frequent. I get a phone call almost every day asking me to either come pick my son up or come in and redirect him because the school "can't handle him". I don't blame the school at all for this and I prefer they call me because I would rather handle it than have a teacher lose their cool with my child. My son trusts me, I can redirect him super easily and then everything is good. So they call me often.
Well, I had to go pick him up the other day after he destroyed the office. My fiance insisted on going with me and instead of being calm at all, he went right in for the attack and basically told them they didn't know what they were doing and that it was their fault that I lost my job because they kept calling me to come in and told them that they basically didn't give a damn about anyone but themselves and that "our" son needs help and they aren't providing it. I HATE confrontation and I would not have handled it this way. His concerns are valid but I feel he just ruined everything. I want them to call me so they aren't hurting my kid or being mean to him and now I feel he ruined the dynamic I had with the school and staff, whom I was very kosher with. When we left the principal was crying. How can I tell him he isn't helping at all?
