[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did today for the first time ever.  We were there with our advocate - who's good and I'm grateful she was there to handle things.  It's so odd as you don't think it's the parents who would be trying to convince someone that their kid isn't an achiever.  I feel like we've done it to ourselves because we've paid for so much therapy and tutoring.  If we'd just done less, he'd have made less progress and they'd better see how much assistance he needs.  This feeling is a 180 degrees from a few years ago when I would beat myself up for not doing more - afraid that what we were doing was enough.  I feel like just saying fuck it and discontinuing our private interventions.  Yet, when it comes down to it, I can't do anything other than what I think will help him.  As you all know, the time, energy and resources it takes is huge.  I feel so defeated, ineffective and screwed.  That's why I cried.[/quote]

Dry your tears.  You were being a good mom.  Drink some wine.  Reassess and if necessary, change tactics now.[/quote]
