Booked the therapist! First appointment early May.

And the walking to work is now a habit. Now I can’t imaging NOT doing it. It is so serene and beautiful.

And S1 is on lesson two of the new Japanese guide. I maintain it won’t last but I’m going with it for now because he so motivated.

And S2 is S2. We played board games all weekend, and after a day of biking he curled up with me and read his beloved comic books, pointing out his favorite parts to me.

After all of the stress and drama of the past 6 years (right on the heels of the stress of having babies/toddlers)… it doesn’t feel normal to be so relaxed.

Answering my own question from above, I don’t think I know who S1 is. Nobody does, including S1. My job is to let him guide his own life in an age-appropriate manner, managing expectations but not predetermining that of which he is capable. The most important thing is the self-determination part.
