When underwater, the world above is muffled. The sounds are hardly detectable. The sight is blurred. And the weight of the water pushes on the body like a gentle, loving embrace.
Rye is out of school now until the school can come with a better plan for him. Being a victim to physical assault and gross disregard for and refusal to follow IEP plans are issues that one must not ignore. And as he wound up and up and up with the situation at hand, I finally decided he had had enough. I placed the burden on the school system after all that they have done to him, and yanked him out.
Yesterday the healing process began. Tensions were still high as he had his defenses up and was ready to fight the fight. Today he is realizing he has been rescued. It is sinking in. He is exhaling.
And it is unrecognizably serene here at the homestead.
I can’t remember the last time the atmosphere in the house was this relaxed.
It is calm.
