Every thing that I do, every choice that I make is for their well being. They are my number 1
SO WHY ALL THE FIGHTING!!
The thing that I'm slowly starting to learn is that when you have a child that is a little out of the "norm" a little out of the "main stream" you are going to have to FIGHT for that child's rights.
They tell you over and over be an advocate for your child, they say "you are the voice for your children"
BUT
the second you start to use your voice and begin to advocate a different way, a way that is BEST for your child they SHUT YOU DOWN, why? because "this is the way we do things"
BECAUSE for some reason they feel that they have all the answers and your voice is NOTHING.
So why even bother, why make us believe that you want to listen, why give us a sense of meaning, a sense of importance? YOU will never listen, you do things a certain way and you make no exceptions for my exceptional child.
All I want is what is best for him, but you will not HEAR IT!!
because to you his is a nobody, just one more kid that is going to get eaten up in your system. A system that just pushes children through, a system of cracks, a system that has failed many children before him and I will not let my son be another child lost in your system.
What you offer will not help him, what he NEEDS is what I'm asking for.
and I am tried of this fight
(this is not a type 1 issue it is a learning disability issue for my son Connor but I just needed to vent to people that understand) Thanks for listening!!

I know you are tired. I know that they think they know it all. I know that sometimes it seems like you are just banging your head against a wall...
But I also know you are a fighter. And I KNOW that you will fight for your child until your voice is heard. Go kick some butt, mom. Roar until they can't hear themselves think! You CAN do this! Sending prayers and good California vibes your way!!
I JUST told someone the other day "I am so tired of fighting". Seriously... the exact words rolled out of my mouth.
You CAN do this. You are an amazing, strong mom and you have a whole lot more "fight" left in you.
(((hugs))) my friend. Keep us posted.
The frustrating thing in all of this is it is a child's safety and wellbeing that is continually put at stake. And why must things be so difficult as Lora was saying on Our Diabetic Child. It is really the last thing that these type 1 families need...is to have to fight for their children's rights in the schools.
(((HUGS))) I am with you in spirit Nicole.
Thanks everyone, I'm just so fed up and this is not even a type 1 issue it is a learning disability issue for my son Connor. Something a school should KNOW how to handle!!
I agree, schools should be able to handle type 1, they handle Autism and other disabilities. Why not Type 1? Hang in there and keep fighting, even though it is hard and tiring.
YOUR PASSION INSPIRES ME!!!!
I am so proud of your amazing ability to advocate for your children.
Please keep us posted. STAY STRONG!
Bless your heart! I know you are tired of fighting but you can do this. You tell them they are messing with the wrong person - - you have A LOT of D Moms ready to hop a plane and bust out on them!!
