Can I show off and be shameless here? I can't in real life

[proudmudda]

I have had a very tough time recently, dh has had a nervous breakdown, my dad who has always been abusive hit a new low and we're NC. My mum emigrated and it's just been so hard.
But ds got 11 level 9s and and A** in further maths yesterday and I am so so proud. He is severely dyspraxic and had oral dyspeptia which went undiagnosed until he was 4 which severely affected his speech. I was told he had SEN and he was put in a special group, I knew he was frustrated and moved his school then home schooled. He went to the local comp for secondary, it was on special
Measures, he was bullied but here we are.
I am so proud of my boy. I could burst.
As a working class northerner I will be ostracised for rl showing off, so can I be shameless here?
Sorry to anyone I annoy, I just need an outlet! Mn has helped me so much over the years with ds, dh and just life. Thank you all so much

Well done xxx

That's fantastic! Congratulations to both of you :)

"Well. That'll do"
Congratulations to your boy and to you OP!

That's amazing! Shout it from the rooftops!

Wonderful, Op.
Your DS’s achievement is something worth showing off about.
for you both (though I doubt he’ll be impressed with them) 😀

What fantastic results - congratulations!

Brilliant boy with a clearly amazing mother behind him. This thread makes me so happy as I have dc with SEN.

Brilliant! Boast away, I would! And congrats 👏🏻 well done. Awhh that's great news.

Wow! What brilliant results. Massive congratulations to your ds for all his incredible hard work, resilience and dedication and 💐to you for the support and belief that helped him get there. This sounds like a young man who is destined to go far. Hope you all have a wonderful celebration trip - really well deserved.

Huge congratulations to your son OP, he (and you) should be shouting it from the rooftops, never be ashamed of trying hard! I hope you've shown him this thread. What a star 👏👏👏

Wow congratulations to your son OP and you of course!!

Bloody hell, that's amazing. Well done to your DS. Well done you for being a fantastic Mum. for you for DS.

Omg I could cry for you! God lovely! My 3 year old has a major speech delay so this is heartwarming!

Well done to your DS!

Congratulations to your ds from another Northern bird

Well done proudmudda and Amazing Son. That is brilliant.

Fantastic, brought a tear to my eye - not that a fellow Northerner should admit that

Excellent stuff OP!!!!

Brag away, be loud and proud😀

What subjects will he take for A levels? Consider the organisations who can help with pre uni courses, they usually offer a week at Oxford/Cambridge for next summer for high achieving candidates.

What a beautiful thread.
You and your boy are fab!! Well done.

Amazing achievement op especially against all the odds!!
Well done both of you
