[QUOTE="DDD, post: 509576, member: 35"] Sending caring thoughts and loads of admiration. Although my first difficult child was not volatile her needs were not met in elementary. Like you I actively participated at the school to assure I "knew" the environment. At the time I was self supporting five of us so my time was limited by work demands..but I felt "in touch". Then, whammo, they announced that she could no longer attend the school. This was in the 60's before legislation. They had one school for all the disabled children in the district and that was my only choice. It was mindboggling. All ages mixed together, most in wheelchairs, having seizures etc. etc. It was one of two times in my life that I just HAD to excape the pressure. I spent money I didn't have and checked into a motel for a weekend where I screamed into the pillow and cried buckets of tears (I am not one to cry, by the way.) It has been forty years and when I read your post the emotions come back. I am so sorry you are experiencing that...plus worse. You're right. You have to take an emotional break. It is a healthy thing to do. Should your disconnect continue for any length of time maybe you'll need medications or support but for now I believe it is absolutely a normal reaction to such ongoing stress and the recent blindside. I do have faith in your loving spirit and tenacity. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
