[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 154764, member: 1514"] I had this happen to me both in the same way and in reverse. Jamie had really bad stomach problems from the time he was about ten to early high school years. They suspected they were ulcers caused by the tension of living with Cory...lol. He had seen upteen docs and had procedures done but when the pain hit there wasnt much to do but give him his medications and let him wait it out. He took these pills and this liquid stuff that basically numbed his tummy but he was one miserable little boy in the meantime. He just laid there in a ball. Well...the docs told me to not send him to school if he woke up that way and to have the school let him either come home or lay in the nurses office if it happened there. I worked full time then. This was an ongoing problem that didnt need a doctor visit everytime it happened obviously. The school social worker came down on me like a ton of bricks saying I had to take him to the doctor every single time it happened! I got in her face saying I would NOT be taking him, I didnt have the money for co-pays every time it happened, I couldnt take off work every time it happened...blah blah blah. She dragged me into court! Well then we come to Cory. He skipped 88 days in 8th grade....same grade they jumped all over me with jamie! Not once did they threaten me with court. Not once did they try to get him to stay at school. I would literally drive him to school, physically hand him to a teacher with his hand in her/his hand and drive off...and he would leave out the back door and be back at my house before I could get in my office good. I didnt hear about all his absences for weeks or months. One time I found out he wasnt in school because I got called by the cops when he was picked up for shoplifting! [/QUOTE]
