I am so sorry that your son is going through such pain ~ The pain must feel unbearable to you at times like this. I have personal experience with abuse.

In Kindergarten, my teacher disliked me for some reason. She lifted my skirt and spanked me in front of the class for being late to school one day. She'd make mean remarks. I HATED her and I hated going to school. At a very young age, I got into the habit of faking sick, to avoid going to school. When I went to school, My tummy would be doing flip-flops and I was terrified. I felt completely alone! My parents would say, "It's okay. You'll be fine." But I wasn't. And I felt hurt that they didn't listen to what I was going through. I'd sit alone at school and cry...everyday. That's not normal! That's not healthy either.

While my misery wasn't all my parents, or the school's fault, they sure weren't helping me feel better.

I think that it's wonderful that you are acknowledging your son's emotions. Good job!! I also think it's great that you're staying on top of his T, to see how you can help your son get through this pain more easily. Wonderful!! I really mean it. With things becoming worse at school and home, I might consider getting a different T. See them more often if possible.

It's hard for me to come up with ideas for you to try ~ I can just feel that misery. My heart is with your son.
