[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 505450, member: 6546"] Thank you - these are good suggestions. Susie--I am going to take your advice and practice slowling myself down, pausing, taking a breath or two before responding...that should definitely help! The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday. I am going to make some phone calls tomorrow morning and see if I can find out why this meeting was changed at the last minute like this...depending upon the response it may be appropriate to demand a re-schedule (even though I had originally confirmed that I was coming when I thought it was a "small" meeting). I am also going to call the local NAMI group. I'm not confident that there is a lot they can do. The members at this particular group have adult children and haven't dealt with children's services in many years - which makes a big difference since so much funding has been cut. But - maybe somebody can accompany me to the meeting as an advocate. If the meeting cannot be postponed - husband is going to "attend" via telephone. Meanwhile, I'm desperately trying to think of other options... [/QUOTE]
