I am so sick of being told what a bad parent I am just because my family disagrees with a decision I made about my daughter. I decided not to put her in public school for a number of reasons that they have decided are of my own cration. They don't believe that my little girl is as terrified of crowds as she says, or I say, she is because she went to VBS over the summer and she goes to AWANAS at church and sunday school. The fact is that my baby girl forces herself to do them, but she sticks close to her teachers and doesn't not play with the rest of the kids. One or two of them maybe, but not large groups. She is terrified and her astma and oxygen scares and embarrasses her. I don't know what else to do. My daughter doesn't discuss her fears with her other family, just me. I am a single parent and she and I are extremely close, so we discuss things that we feel that we don't discuss with other people. I have tried to get therapy for her, but the doctor is unreliable and we are searching for a new one. But I am hurt, and angry, and ashamed of them for what they say. It makes it that much harder on my little girl and on me. I have stopped discussing things concerning my baby because of their attitude. I don't what to do, but I KNOW that the decision I have made is right for my daughter. I want to yell and scream at them that she is MY daughter and I know what is best for her, but I don't think it would make a difference at this point. I know this is right for her, I can FEEL it in my gut, but what do I do about all these people that are set on berating me and accusing me of inventing my girl's problem for my own benefit. AGHHHHH.....
