Leave my current life to try to find better care for my child

I’m miserable from morning to night - not because my child is awful (she’s fantastic). She’s severely disabled. I’m so so tired of fighting and losing every single battle. I only live where I do because my husband chose to live here. I only stay here because I’m the mother of my child and I won’t live forever.
The local NHS has refused to provide an essential therapy for her - the EHCP process is a current battleground.
And meantime her health deteriorates and my life is absolutely nothing to me of to anyone apart from her.
I keep thinking I should just leave and try somewhere else

Sorry to hear this op.

I relate in a lot of ways and I don't blame you for thinking this.

My question would be about how you can assure that the place you move to will provide better care for her?

Sorry you're going through this x

Are you thinking better care is available in a bigger center or different country?

If better care is available somewhere else then yes I’d definitely be looking into it. What is the problem where you are - is it that you’re very rural / crappy local hospitals? Or more that you need a complete different system?? Can you afford to pay for any care?
