[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 514560, member: 3388"] Buddy, :warriorsmiley: I'm so proud of you!! You're doing an excellent job!! I know how hard it is not to cry in those meetings. I used to hold it together during the meetings and then, when finally alone in my car, the tears would begin streaming down my face... I felt drained, totally wrung out, frustrated beyond belief, angry, sad, worried. These emotions served a purpose. They added lots of fuel to the already blazing fire and helped me continue fighting. I'm not the least bit surprised that you were able to stand up for Q, for yourself at that meeting!! You're a true :warrior: mom!! I like your idea of finding out if the brain injury treatment center is able to do a vocational assessment for Q. If this center doesn't do them, and you feel it provides excellent services, ask if they can recommend a place that does. I met lots of wonderful people through networking.
