[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 122836, member: 2211"] {{{ML}}} I'm sorry you're feeling so down. It's good to be thankful for all the blessings in your life, but it's equally important to be gentle on yourself when you're no feeling up to par. You're right, there are a lot of outside sources drawing on your energy. Bringing an advocate with you is a wonderful support. Another set of eyes. Hopefully, you two will sit together before the meeting to discuss ideas and put together a list of questions to ask and ideas to explore. My 18dd had limitations and certain protcols put into place in regards to her homework assignments. Also, I was able to gain access to an online website where I could track her HW assignments & long term projects. It was very helpful. Her teachers worked with me to keep her on track. Often she would receive her weekly assignments on Monday, rather than day by day. That helped a lot also. When you can, try to schedule a little 'down time' just for you to recharge your batteries. This is very important when you're the number one caregiver. A little TLC goes a long way. Hugs~ [/QUOTE]
