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

I feel happy too reading this thread OP I am happy for you and your boy.
You are bringing up a good one there !!

That's bloody brilliant! Well done to him, so pleased for you

I love good news! Congratulations.
Please come back and link this thread in 2 years when he smashes his A levels!

Amazing. Well done to your son and you for supporting him.

Well done, Amazing Son and Proud Mudda! I am another northern single mum of a child with SN and I couldn't be happier for your beautiful family right now. Absolutely delighted that all the hard work's paid off! The sky's the limit for you, you bloody star. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. xx

Well done to your son, I'm North West wc and love to hear these stories.
That's one hell of a thing to be proud of and I'm so sorry your life is so tough atm

As a mum of a kid with special needs, can wholeheartedly say, yes, totally show off about it! Brilliant! And well done you too. Lovely to hear. Xx

Amazing! Very well done. Congratulations

Reading this has made me smile with happiness. Very well done to your son and you for being a brilliant Mum!!

Wow he’s done amazingly well . Be proud and don’t be afraid to tell people how well he’s done ! I bet you can’t stop smiling . My niece got her results and I’ve been smiling when I think of her the last couple of days.

My daughter has additional needs and posts like yours give me hope than she can succeed .

Who needs crappy subjects like maths and history anyway?!

With such a 'supportive' parent he's on a hiding to nothing!

Be proud! That’s amazing, even without the other stuff going on, well done to your son, from a fellow northerner
