Oh Cashmere. I'm so sorry. I hope you find a place that will be perfect for both of you.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Cash. How frustrating. I'm vibing hard for a fruitful session this afternoon with the speech therapist.

I'm so glad you have a mentor. One of my local friends has been navigating her now 9-year-old son's way through special education and mainstreaming and endless rounds of various therapies since he was 3, and having mentors and advocates on her side (and his) has made such a difference.
I'm just sorry you have to wrestle with this mess, and sorry for your tears right now, and sorry that we're not all there to give you tissues and coffee and a little bit of respite.

I'm sorry, Cash. Poor Owen. That sucks.

From the other side of the teacher's desk, I've been having a hell of a morning. So far I have dealt with a nasty email about last year's English teacher from a mother with a history of being difficult in general, a nebulous comment about an "anixety disorder" on a new student's profile that I have to follow up on, a frantic phone call from a mom about her daughter's major social meltdown and possible depression (and a request to meet at 7AM some time this week), and a student who forgot to take her ADHD meds and is bouncing off the walls.
Dear gods. Someone please put me out of my misery.

ugh. I feel you Kristin. This morning I got a tart email from a parent that said (in my words) "my kid has decided to go on this trip that is not academic and you don't have anything to do with. send me the names of the chaperones and a phone number, because you obviously don't have anything else to do but track down my kid"

Vortex, is this student a college student?
Because, um, yikes!

I'm so sorry, Cash. That's very upsetting and stressful. It just hits on so many different areas aside from your concerns about Owen as well. Finances, your time, how it affects Olivia, stress in the marriage.

Thanks, loves.
I've now also found that one of the parents has unmedicated bipolar, and another has been described as "unrelentingly obnoxious."
It's going to be a long year.
Vortex, you have to be kidding me. College parents are writing this to you? Wh-huh?
