[quote=Anonymous]Hi everyone,
Just a note to you all -- I know exactly what you mean; I had to literally take to my bed with the vapors the day before school started when DD was going into 2nd grade.  Swooning with anxiety and dread...

DD is now 16 and I wanted to say it gets so much better.  First, I got some therapy for myself -- just talking through the dread, the feelings of hopelessness and of sadness and loss, was tremendously helpful.  Second, the therapies and medications and IEPs, etc., actually helped DD to the point that it really made a difference.  There are still issues but it all gets more manageable.  Third, I made friends with moms of other SN kids and they became my lifeline.  We shared information and supported each other, and worked in tandem with the school as a group.  These women are still my good friends.  The oldest child just went off to college!

So, in sum, it does get better and it does get easier - probably and most likely.  Best of luck to you all! [/quote]
