Mike,
I think  you are a genius! ZAch did start high school a week and a half ago,
and he did not want to say much, but something like that did seem to happen
at the lunch table. The kids he knew from jr. high seemed to be "hiding" from
him, he went to try and sit with a new group and ran into trouble.

You are amazing, he even, that night before he went to bed, brought Columbine
up to me. Zach is very  very gentle and peace loving, and also very well read
and informed about the world. He seemed so agitated before bed and he said he
had been thinking about Columbine which shocked my husband and I. He would
not say much more, but fell asleep.

He woke up about5:00am, truly delusional and terrified.

I have come to find out that that first week of high school was much more
difficult than we ever imagined, but I did not know it could set off a
reaction as severe and terrifying as this was.

I guess I have alot to learn . . .

I wish i could keep him home with me forever and protect him from all this,
but of course I know I can't. It just seemed so hard to accept that such a
severe almost psychotic reaction could come from this, but I guess it really
could.
