Well as many of you may know especially the ones of us who have been on here forever, my sons biggest anxiety was the phrophacy that the world will end in 2012 as predicted. We had our usual anxieties this morning about going to college but as M sat eating his breakfast and reading the paper the headlines read - 2012 the end of the world - oooohhh no !! great !! He continued to read the article ( some of you may have seen it ) that this prediction made 1300 years ago was actually wrong and the world is now not going to end !!!! Well he thought all his Christmas had come at once. He was slightly late for college as he needed to read and re read the article. Driving to college he was very relaxed, and because he was late he had to go into another group for the first hour ( 4 other students ) which is unheard of, and he waltzed in as if he didn't have a care in the world. I am so hoping this is a major break through for him, but my gut feeling is he may find another idea to fixate on.

For the timebeing i'm going to enjoy it, and he may even find that he is ok with other pupils to work with in college - lets hope so.

Love to all

Lindy - he's home and absolutley fine, telling everyone who will listen that the world isn't going to end.

Looking at it on paper it sounds so silly, but it really has been awful for him, i can't imagine how it feels to be so anxious.

You have aa good weekend too.

Lots of love Sarah xx

Hi Sarah,

So glad it turned out positive for your son. My son had mentioned the end of the world in 2012 a few times but probably due to his age when I brushed it aside and told him about many predictions not coming true he was ok....however, it is not 2012 yet and he might start going on about it. I haven't a newspaper here with that headline so might just check out on-line and gently point him in that direction! Well done to your son. Something we can dismiss as not being true, just because we can put probability into perspective is much harder or near impossible for them it seems.
Take care,

Linda - if you want i can scan and e- mail the article - it was in the Daily Express.

Yes all good at the moment, but know he still has a way to go

Hope your son continues going ok at the moment.
