I'm sorry that you went through so much as an immigrant. I had a patient once who was an immigrant to the US during WWII. She and her husband spoke no English and were just kind of thrown into life here without any help. They had a baby and when he went to school the teacher thought he was developmentally delayed because he had an accent and she tried to keep him out of regular classes. The mother had to fight this in her broken English and limited ability to read notes from the teacher. She did win eventually but it was a really hard thing for her to go through.
