[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 432585, member: 3930"] I just want to add my support - I feel your pain and definitely understand how you feel. It's horrible when other parents blame you for the way your child is - and unfortunately it happens all too much. You can chose to write them off or educate them. I've done both. I also find that my difficult child tends to hurt the friend he is closest too. I don't know why that is exactly, but for my difficult child it might be an anxiety thing or jealousy when his buddy wants to play with someone else or when he feels his buddy putting distance between them. I definitely also feel that difficult child is often the one who gets blamed and/or disciplined for things even though others were doing the same things. It's like everyone is hyper aware of him and has their eyes on him waiting to catch him doing something. I agree with seriously about writing a letter to your SD (today!) and requesting a full and initial evaluation for special education services. I would mention that with all issues thus far, you feel they should have identified your child via Child Find and that you would like to get the evaluation rolling asap! You can google sample letters requesting an evaluation or there is one on this site somewhere. I would send it certified mail with return receipt to the district, and then hand deliver a copy to your school (asap). I also agree if there is anyway possible for you to work part time, do it. It takes a lot of time dealing with a difficult child. I am a full time stay at home mom (have a 4 yr old too) but my time is consumed with meetings, dr appts, corresponding with the school, educating myself, etc. Hang in there - you have found a great place with wonderfully supportive people who know exactly what you are going thru. Oh also, be sure to take time for yourself and get any help you need to cope. I have put myself last for so long and am trying hard not to do that. If I am functioning better, I will be able to help my son more effectively. :) [/QUOTE]
