Evening everyone
I am fairly new to MN and need some advice.
My 12 yo DS is currently on a residential trip with his SN school (he is ASD with other fairly major health issues).
He has never been away from home without either myself or DP, however he attended overnight respite care a few years ago which was an absolute horrendous experience for all concerned, especially my DS - they would promise my DS that they would call us if he became upset but we found out that on more than one occasion he became so stressed he wet the bed and cried himself to sleep.
When the trip was first announced DS was adamant he didn't want to go, but myself and DP have slowly but surely encouraged him with lots of research of where he would be going and the promise that he could go but if things became too much we would pick him up. We had a meeting a few weeks ago at school and we were told that whilst the children wouldn't be speaking directly to their parents (it was felt it would upset them too much and we all agreed that this was the best course of action) all of the parents were told that we would receive a short nightly email letting us know all was ok.
We are now 3 days into a 5 day trip and beside an initial text to say that they had arrived we haven't heard a peep.
The optimist in me is hoping that he's having such a great time he hasn't given us a second thought but I am mightily pissed off that we've not heard anything.
I'm asking if IABU to let rip at school tomorrow calmly voice my concerns but I
don't know if it is a complete overreaction on my part?
Can someone please reassure me before I go mad?
