[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 306828, member: 1991"] Whatever you do, t hink it through. Don't do or say anything on angry impulse. Instead, if you can control and focus your anger (like light through a magnifying glass) you can use it to great positive effect. When I am this angry, I draft my message while anger makes me fluent, then I sleep on it. Literally. In the morning when I am a little calmer, I re-read it and usually by then I feel more in control, so I can handle the flak that begins once people receive my message and start calling me to try to sort it out (or object to my allegations). Also, keep notes. Way back when I first joined this site, I was strugglnig with some serious problems with difficult child 3 in mainstream; problems especially with the regional dept of ed. At the time I was not able to make waves past acertain point although I did try. They successfully swept their misdeeds under the carpet. But now - a surprising opportunity to raise the topic has presented itself, I have been asked by a reporter to describe some of the problems I have encountered with inappropriate or lack of support for difficult child 3 in mainstream education. And because I have kept my notes, kept the Communication Books, kept my emails/letters/faxes - I have AMMUNITION. If this goes ahead, it will hit the prime-time current affairs television nationally. And I will enjoy every minute of it. Hey, I even have my minutes of phone calls I received from dept of ed regional (by the way, they don't deserve upper case initials). Anger can get in the way. But it can also be a positive force for change. It all depends on how you harness it, like nuclear energy. Just make sure you don't go critical and get buried under fallout! Marg [/QUOTE]
