Everything has gone wrong.
I lost my precious daughter to cancer when she was 5. My 12 year old son is severely disabled, he has severe autism/severe learning disability, he's still in nappies and can't speak. He has terrible violent episodes and his school have just told me that can't cope with him and that he needs to go elsewhere - phrased as "we're not giving William what he needs, we're failing him" - he's been there since he was 3, they were my only support system for him and it's absolutely thrown me. I've had anxiety/panic since I lost my daughter and I have other health issues of my own.
I just feel like I can't take much more of this. I have the most wonderful husband and teenage son, but, as is quite common when you have severely disabled children, my friends and family have dwindled away. I feel so lonely and lost, I can't stop crying. Sorry for venting but I'm so stressed, I don't know what to do. My fear for my sons' future, what's going to happen to him, he needs 1-1 care 24/7, what's his future - especially when his school are abandoning him.
Sorry about this, I'm going to bed now, but I can't stop crying and fretting, I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow.
