It was always going to happen, but today it really hit me. This time last year we decided to move DD into SS at the start of year 3 having made virtually no progress in MS. This time last year, my friends all said she shouldn't leave as their children would miss her, they didn't tell their children for a long time, the children all said, they didn't want her to leave, the tears flowed. A year on, right decision made DD thriving in SS but today it just whacked me in the face of the gap between her and her MS friends, a few stayed in touch, and now her 'best' friends from MS totally ignored her and just don't see or treat her as a friend anymore. Guess I knew this would happen one day, and yes could have happened even if still in MS and even if NT. But for today it's just brought home to me the difference and the reality of what we are dealing with. I think I knew that they would never really stay as friends but always hoped they would. Being in SS we seem miles away from any of her new friends and it just seems so much harder now for her to have a 'social life'. Moan over, tomorrow's another day!
