My sons therapist quit

Hi everyone,

My sons therapist quit on Monday. I’m very sure she got over whelmed as he was having a big tantrum (which occurs pretty frequently). He bit her and scratched her. Which I think was the last straw for her. She passed me my kid and told me she won’t be coming back and then just walked away.

She has been with him for two months and I didn’t realize she was struggling mentally with him. I actually feel bad. I wish she would have just took the day off and gave herself a mental break day. Plus, I’m not sure what her home life is like. But with that being said, she just walked out. Didn’t say bye to my son or nothing. This is also leaving us without a therapist until the BCBA can hire someone else.

Fast forward to today, she texted me this morning asking how my son is. I haven’t responded yet because I feel like it’s not appropriate to. Like she walked out on my son and now acting like nothing happened? I’m not sure if I should text her back or not. I’m not sure if she is trying to save her job or what.

What should I do?
