[QUOTE="bran155, post: 179869"] Hello and welcome. I am so sorry you are going through this. You sound utterly exhausted and overwhelmed. Sending you hugs {{{HUGS}}}. You are not alone, we all can relate to what you are living and how you are feeling. It really does help to talk with people who are living similar circumstances, so you found a great place for that. I have learned a great deal here and have gotten some much needed support and advice. I agree with slsh, the sd had no business suggesting home schooling!!! You need some peace during your day. It is their job and the law, I might add, to educate your child no matter what his needs are. In my opinion, home schooling would not be good for any of you. Your son needs to be with children his own age to build up his social skills and you need to be able to take care of yourself as well as your little one. Do not let the school district bully you, or anyone for that matter (not even the doctors). Do not let the "professionals" intimidate you. You have had a rough go of it, I am so sorry about Katrina. You made it though, you are a survivor and you will survive this too. You must take care of you before you can be of any help to anyone else. So while your son is in the hospital take a breather. My daughter is also in the hospital now, this is her 5th week and it is like a vacation for the rest of the family. Thats not to say we dont love and miss her very much, but lets be honest, these children are not easy to live with. So consider this time respite for you, husband and the baby. Take a long hot bath and let Calgon take you away!!! Raising a difficult child is very difficult, it is demanding and utterly exhausting, not to mention heartbreaking!! It does get easier as time passes. You will get used to all the emotions and one day, believe it or not, you will be able to detach a little and get some of your life back. The beginning of this journey is always the hardest. Come here as often as you need, this is a wonderful community to belong to.
