My emotions are all over the place with my boys!

[Lizzy Lemon]

Had a problem with a neighbour's special needs daughter who walks to school with our special needs son. Its heartbreaking that these two kids have no one else who bothers with them because they are 'different'. Well she is very bossy and actually hit him yesterday and stormed off and left him then had a go at his brother who caught him up on the way to school. I'm going to go and see her mum (who has become a friend) next week as the parents are having a weekend away and I didn't want to upset her before she goes, she also suffers with depression and I feel a bit worried about adding to her concerns. Trouble is I was awake this morning between 2-4am worrying about it! Too many things have happened just recently I can't keep quiet about anymore, I've got to think of Ashley's feelings above anything else. Completely at the other end of the scale we've had a letter today saying Glen is having a story which school submitted for a competition published so at least we have some nice news also!

So sorry to hear you're having a tough time, Wendy! Glad you feel you can come on here to share and/or vent - hope it helps a little. I don't really have the experience to give you advice but I agree you have to look out for Ashley first and foremost - it's a shame your neighbour has problems but it's not good for you to be awake and worrying through the night. I hope you get it sorted without too much hassle...

Great news about Glen - you must be very proud of him...

Well Done to Glen, you must be a proud mum

Well done to Glen.

You need to tell your friend/neighbour whats going on as it could get worse she could hit some kid who doesn't understand and they might hurt her back.

Lots of to you.

Thanks everyone. We had a discussion over coffee this afternoon, she has been very understanding and told me I should have let her know sooner, I'm glad we are still friends. Some people take criticism against their child to extremes and fall out over it, I'm glad she wasn't like that and its sorted out.
