Network meeting an hour from now... about our daughter this time. I'm drained and I dread this meeting. History repeating itself.

Our son was home with us over the weekend. Yesterday I cried half the distance driving back home after taking our son back to the boarding school.

I feel like running away... flee... but I have to pull myself together and do this for my daughter.

thanks you caring people!

The meeting was tough. I made it through but fell to pieces straight after still inside of school... crying in front of social secretaries, our daughter's T and the support family mother... not cool at all. For the first time I really said how I felt. I'm on the edge of breaking apart... Don't know how much longer I can keep going.
So many emotions.
I think we made some progress anyway finding ways to help our daughter. We'll see what happens...

My daughter's T got really upset when she heard about me not getting a new psychologist or T to support me. She offered to make some phone calls to see if they'd listen to her.

In the middle of it all I feel very alone... since hubby isn't very supportive. It's like I don't exist... only his needs and problems. I always put the children first... but now there's not much left of me.

(((HeartWhispers)) I'm sorry you and your children are having such a difficult time. I do think you need to take sometime for yourself. In order for us to take care of others we have to take care of ourselves. (So much easier said than done.) to you and your family

It's so hard when we are standing alone trying to support & figure is all out without any help or support for ourselves.

Glad your daughters T offered to make some calls....sometimes it does help make a difference. I remember experiencing that same helpless, hopeless feeling & having husband not provide any emotioal support either.....emotions & even anger of not being able to get the help we need feels so very horrible & alone.

All you can do is keep plugging away at life one day at a time & accepting what ever help is available while trying to search for what ever you can find.....sometimes we just need some help handed to us rather than feeling like we have to fight for everything we need. Hope that things will start to come together for you & your daughter & your son. Know it's discouraging when things don't turn out the way we pictured them when our children were young. At times it feels impossible to keep going.....but we just have to try plugging away day at a time & accept the help we can get along the way & ask for help in the areas where we just can't figure out where to go from there.
