DS has had a rough time. He was at a lovely school where he was very happy, but is so severely dyslexic we had to move city (leaving close friends) to put him in a specialist school, where he couldn't seem to settle in and find friends (despite always having had a great social life). A year on, we moved to another city, nearer our home city (where there is no specialist school). We're only half a term in but he hates it and is very upset in the mornings. He hasn't made friends (although the other children apparently like him and include him). His whole demeanour seems to have changed. I take him back to see old friends often and then he seems almost like his old self.
It just really weighs heavy on me. The new school is very good, pretty much the best possible, and in that regard I know he is in the right place and that in time he will find friends.
He is very angry with me (not DH of course) and if he's being difficult he will say it's because I made him move and change schools. I realise we made an error with the first school, but seeing as he'll need at least three years specialist education, we thought it was right to make the change, particularly as he always said he hated it (history now rewritten of course).
The school say he sometimes seems quiet but does not strike them as unhappy.
I just wondered if anyone had any experience of this.
