[QUOTE="SRL, post: 98411, member: 701"] Great, I just saw your post on Special Education. I was so intent on getting that aspect squared away that I breezed over your last comments about how you are feeling. It's very important that you take care of yourself emotionally during this. When a child hits this low spot where you feel totally helpless, it goes against everything we are as mothers. "We're the mom, we're supposed to make it better" is how our mindset works, and suddenly we find ourselves in a situation where we not only can't fix it, we may not even be able to budge the child one iota towards forward progress. To me, this is one of the toughest parts of dealing with a child who has special needs. Every one hits some brick walls in life, but when it's our kids who hit the walls, it hits us incredibly hard. Do everything you can--in the home, with the district, with outside professionals, research--but take care of yourself because it's critical that you remain emotionally well in order to take care of your little guy.
