[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of 2 kids with special needs, I have spent years focusing on figuring out what they need, working to meet those needs, partnering with schools, advocating and fighting with schools to get appropriate services. I am tired. I have a dark sense of humor. I treasure the good relationships I’ve found through this process. And while I’ve spoken for years about school trauma for my kids, I am realizing I have trauma too. The level of emotionality I experience when there is another issue is out of scale to the issues themselves. And I am having to work harder and harder to control that to be a positive and partnering parent. How common is this? And what do you do? I have a therapist, who encourages me to name my feelings and work on accepting them. But I still feel really stuck. How do you come back from seeing so many adults break trust with children?[/quote]
