Totally identify with a lot of what was said here. The stress of trying to get teenagers to school when you've got to get to work yourself. It's upsetting and exhausting. 😖

It is really daunting and you worry😢 about your child's future all the time, but all I'm doing is taking one day at a time, taking up pilates or a new sport for relaxing and spending time as a parent on your own well being is important.

I would love your input on our situation. Since a year ago our girl has became diabetic type 1, ADHD, ASD, has anxiety and her teacher doesn't like her, sends her out of class and shouts at her. Several meetings hasn't solved this. School mornings she suddenly becomes poorly so she doesn't have to go. It is a daily battle.
Also our older son cannot get a school place because of over crowding and we have no choice to home school. His mental health his deteriorating because of this. We have gone through every avenue and still can solve these issues. Any advice
