I will not drip feed but can not go in the whole saga otherwise will be here until covid disappears !
- DD age 7, had complex middle needs bit cognitively well so attends mainstream school. I was in the house with her shielding from mid March until Shielding was paused.
I was doing all the home schooling, wrap around care as we lost respite and basically dealing being trapped in a tiny flat with a 7 year old. In this time not to my surprise her dad did not contact once in the whole pandemic we spoke twice both time’s I contacted him.
( there is years of Inconsistency)
But this really highlighted to me how little he cares.
So consultant has agreed that is for the best that daughter now stays home from school again until they see how this will all unfold and has written a clinical letter to advice this. The LA and EHCP as well as school are all happy and her 1-1 will come to the home ( socially distancing and mask ) with school work afternoon hounds and maths sessions.
I have been trying to contact her dad now for over a month with no response to phone calls or messages.
I finally got hold of his mum today and was explaining the situation and wanted to know if her dad was doing to make contact any time soon. She asked how DD was and I explained about the school situation and all hell broke lose that I did not run this decision by her son and she will inform him to contact me as daughter needs an education.
Was I unreasonable to you know was the parent who has spent the last 6 months doing this alone with not even a message to ask if she was ok wrong to have made this decision !
