I’m Finding It Hard To Breathe
What do you do when someone makes you feel so angry that you want to smash their head in? I feel like wanting to to that to one of the teacher’s at my son’s school right now, just as she man-handled my child and hurt his body. Another one, I feel like screaming at by using foul words to make her feel really bad about herself in the same way that she has done this to my son.
Commiting myself to a very hard jog up the steep mountainside at the end of my street tonight after dinner to burn it out of my body. I wonder how far i’ll go as i’m so terrified of the dark.
Looking forward to clearing SHIT like this up when we have a formal briefing with the Principal on Monday, where the occupational therapist will hopefully also be able to make it. Taking the time to plan notes together with my husband so that we gain as much positive result out of it as we can.

Yes, a formal briefing is a good idea. I cannot believe the teachers could do that to your son! That is very unprofessional of them. Good luck with the briefing, and I hope all goes well!

Thanks. I’m feeling much better after a few healthy rounds of deep sleep, mountain hiking, hard labour with gardening and cups of peppermint tea. Glad that the bulk of my grief has been channeled out through physical exercise.
As for my feelings of rage/anger, perfectly valid & normal. We had given consent for teachers to use physical force with our son on a signed piece of paper that had very specific instances that it was only allowed to be used. We feel this has been abused so it naturally requires review and possible withdrawal.
Have completed writing up my notes, now passed over to hubby to render down further. Feeling fairly confident that things will pan out well with positive progress.

Hm. I was SURE that I already had commented this post. Strange. I’m hallucinating… *giggles*
I do hope that it has gone well since you wrote that last. I sooo understand your aggressions!!! There is no worse than situations like this!
Good thinking that you did take notes together before the meeting! It’s always a good thing to be as prepared one can be in these kind of situations. There is too many things to forget to say otherwise, or say it wrong.
Hoping for the best
