[QUOTE="klmno, post: 121655, member: 3699"] Thank you all so much! Really, there are times that between difficult child issues, trying to just keep up with work, bills, house chores, legal issues from difficult child's crime spree, family that's toxic- then the sd- sometimes I think maybe I'm just not living in reality. Then I see decisions these people are making and things they are doing and ALL my gut tells me that I'm not insane- it is so nice to have this feedback! Hearing from others that this really is going on with sd's- in many places- let's me feel more confident. Kind of like when you think you are the only one being physically abused by a SO- you feel scared to tell anyone and don't know how to describe it. What a pitiful situation to know that it is so common that many others do know this really does happen. I soooo WISH I had known about and used this forum 2 years ago. It could have saved so much heartache for difficult child and me. It's ok- they won't do us in!! Thank you all, again! I'll be picking some info out of my past few posts- there is wonderful info in them. I'm going to do some writing about all this and it will be sent to at least one place- probably more- certified mail. If it doesn't change things for difficult child, maybe it can help another, at least someone in this town is going to really HEAR what has been going on. It is one thing to make a mistake and punish a kid unfairly because they (or we) believed the wrong story so they get a week of detention or being grounded. It is another when they are doing things to ruin kid's lives because they have preconceived notions about a kid or an illness or a disability. That burns me to no end. How many of our kids had their few chances decreased because of ignorance from sd- the very people who are supposed to be teaching everyone else. :soapbox: I'm off now- at least for a bit! If anyone else has any other advice or suggestions or experience with this, please let me know. I feel sure your help has given difficult child a chance in life that he wouldn't have had otherwise- I can't tell you how much that means to me! [/QUOTE]
