Hi,

I have posted on here recently, about my decision to HE dd1(7).
She has sensory problems and I have found the school to be totally crap unsupportive.

Anyway, she is due to return to school on Monday after a 2-week half term break and I don't want to send her. I want to take her de-reg letter in on Monday morning. DH disagrees, however,and wants to give school 'one more chance'
I really can't see the point, as we have had 3 torteous years of practically begging the school for for help- to no avail.

DH has been saying that she will be even less equipped to deal with life if we HE dd and that she will become isolated. I totally disagree and think she will thrive in the secure environment at home. However, without his support or that of his family (who live close by) I will have a mountain to climb. I will do so willingly,because it is best for dd. I am starting to doubt myself though and whether I am going to be able to handle it all.

I would really, really appreciate any words of wisdom or advice.
TIA

That Saturday morning feeling of relief you had, is the feeling we have most mornings not having to do school!

Will your DH be fit enough to do any of the school runs after his operation (when he is off)? I really do think it would be a good idea to get a taste of the school, whether or not your dd is HE. Always something to remind him of if he ever starts the "I think it'd be best if DD went back to school" line when your are HE! (IYSWIM)
