Argh I just want to pull the pillows over my head.
Middle DC has had 5 meltdowns today, each one of 45 or more minutes.
Youngest has taken over 2 hours to settle to sleep, has decided that there is a monster in the house, well she almost got that right, just a few years too late for anyone to realise.
Middle DCs school has let me know they cant put him in class with the one child he knows who is going there, as the class lists are done (FFS he isnt going til September is it so hard??). This is despite me explaining the situation re tantrums, meltdowns, the family therapists thoughts that this is down to the degree of change in his life and some continuity would be good for him.
He shouldnt even be going to that school, he should be here, with all his friends, but that is no longer appropriate.
If they can do something to ease this period for him, and us, why not just do it. Yes they have lots of these sorts of requests, but how many families are there in our position, not many Im sure.
They asked if we had a social worker, ha, fucking ha, SS dont seem to care at all about our family, they abandoned us with no help after a meeting lasting less than half an hour.
I am *SO SICK TO DEATH OF ASKING FOR HELP AND MEETING WALLS OF BUREAUCRACY AT EVERY TURN, OF PEOPLE MAKING SYMPATHETIC NOISES BUT PUTTING THE WELFARE OF MY CHILDREN UNDERNEATH THEIR NEED TO TICK THE RIGHT BOXES ON THEIR PAPERWORK".
Sorry for shouty capitals. Im just so sick of having to fight for help all the time. God I would LOVE to be a normal family, with normal issues.
I could weep with it all, constantly.
