[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 122841, member: 53"] I used to dread the phone ringing, I could guess what was coming.....It's difficult to have a difficult child and not get depressed at times. You have to know when the depression reaches a stage where it overcomes you and you can't move forward......get help to deal with it.......heck even if you can still deal with everyday life it helps to have someone to talk to. I always tried to tough it out and may have made it worse than things really were.....so nothing wrong with getting help, therapy, medication whatever..... Having an advocate is great when facing the school. They have been thru this before so will try to lead you thru, but their idea is usually to do only what they deem absolutely necessary.....also depends on the teacher.......good luck with the meeting. I don't envy you the homework battles, remember my own, but try to make that the schools problem, not yours.....if they want homework let them suggest how it should get done...... You are a parent, not their teacher, otherwise you should be on the school's payroll.......... Hope you find some relief from the depression you feel, thinking of you.......... [/QUOTE]
