If you could, would you turn back time and if so, to when and why?

Yes. 1st wish. Met Him aged 19. Together 7 years. Apart for 25. Together again for 5. He is now dying of cancer. Wish we'd stayed Together then. 2nd wish. That I'd been able to raise my kids somewhere less backwards.

Back to autumn of 2019 and either allow ds then nursery to take the lead on applying for an EHCP or insist that the school that he was transioning followed the spcailst teacher's advise to do so. It was a massive mistake to trust the then sendco's oppinion that they would be able to support him without as the specailist main stream school for the area. When it became clear that he would need one the application was then delayed for two terms by sendco with lots of lies about how ready it was to submit. He is now waiting for assessment in the covid backlog and will be lucky if he has it in place by the end of the year. The new sendco is battling for emergency funding so he can be properly supported in mainstream until he is assessed as he will likely need to move to the local specail needs school.

No, because I would have to live through all the difficult bits again. If I went back in time to enjoy the people in life I no longer have (dead relative), I would have to be aware I was about to lose them in order to fully appreciate them. Also, people I thought really cared about me in the past, didn't. If I went back in time with this knowledge it would be hard to be around them.
