I heard yesterday that my application for 2 hours a week direct payment application was rejected by panel. Had been holding out for a good result as I've really been struggling for a while now and I'm a bit concerned about how I can keep managing.
I have DS 6 with type 1 diabetes and mild Tourette's, DS 4with ASD (goes to MLD SN school) and DS3 who's a baby. The eldest two's needs totally compete all the time and I'm exhausted.
Anyway, SW suggested a CAF in September involving both boys schools. I was too upset to ask what this is and what it might achieve, but now I'm just thinking it's more report writing crap where I get referred to as "Mum" and have to read sentences such as "Mum feels she can't leave DS 4 unsupervised at anytime" which they feel good writing but do eff all about.
I can't stand anymore sympathetic head nodding from people who can't offer me anything useful. Should I just ring her today and politely refuse? I'm sure she'll just be delighted that I'm not going to be causing her any more work.
I am turning into such a bitter woman and feel so desperate at times I don't know what else I can do.
