Oh Tup, I'm so sorry for all of this. I wish there was something I could say right now to make you feel better, but I'm finding myself at a loss for words. Just know that I'm thinking of you, and wishing all the best for both you and your son. Wishing you strength.

Hi all,

Thanks for all your messages; it's so funny how you all understand when some of my friends have said "Oh!" and not really said any more!

Do you know what, we're good.  My boy is ten, he's doing so well.  He's got the loveliest personality, he's so kind and funny, people like him, he's just very easy to warm to.  I teach him at home and his reading and writing are really coming on now, socially he's doing much better and he's really getting into some of his activities, particularly sailing, gymnastics and swimming.  I am so proud of him and so HAPPY MY FAMILY DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO F##K HIM UP!  We are happy as we are, life is good for us now.  We've both been through a lot over the last decade but we've learnt a lot and I've let a lot of stuff go.  This feels good.  It feels good to have someone professional acting on my (our) behalf.  It was very uplifiting to have someone validate our situation.  My mental health has been blamed for lots of things.  I've never agreed, but it's difficult when you've had mental health problems, some people see it as a weak spot and exploit it.  Whatever happens next, I feel like I am getting it right, you know?  I'm talking to the right people, dealing with it as it comes up, my son is blissfully unaware which is great - I had the weight of the world on my shoulders when I was his age and I'm really happy that his focus is on being a kid, nothing else.  I was a bit tearful when the sol told me some of the stuff that he's concerned about but that's okay, who wouldn't be?  See, I'm getting good at talking to myself the right way, lol.

Will keep you all up to date with what is going on (although I'm told it's a very slow process and everything takes months!).  Thank you for being there.

So glad to read you're homeschooling happily.  I keep thinking about going that route, at least for a while, Tupp.

You sound so good..... so on track, and pleased with your progress.

It's nice to recognize better coping strategies, and even nicer to notice yourself employing them!

Hugs to you and your ds.

Thank you, Bonesie ((((((((((((((((((((((Bonesie))))))))))))))))))))))))

Thanks Lighter.  Home ed has been a real life changer for us.  As he's getting older I'm just happier and happier that I pulled him out and kept him out.  I think it's unlikely now that he'll go back - he's just getting on so well and he's so much more sociable and confident than he used to be.  It's really lovely.

I got the paperwork from the sol today and it's even worse than I thought!  I've only skimmed through it quickly, will read it through properly later, but my God.  When did so many people abandon their ethics?  If you work with pregnant ladies and tiny babies how can you sleep peacefully at night knowing you f**ked up and not even bother to let the mum know?  If I'd realised what a mess they'd made of it I'd have sorted all of this out years ago.  They told me he needed a tiny bit of air and he was fine - not true!  Good job I've had so much to deal with from my mum over the years - at least it's made me tough enough to deal with stuff like this!  Lol :)
