This isn't your fault
Quote From: amirmikeyHello everyone I am new to the forum so please bear with me. I went to my son's school today because his teacher wanted to have a confrence with me.I go and she asks me if my son has any mental problem or if I did drugs while I was pregnant with him. I told her NO to both.She stated that he does nothing at all he acts as those he is confused and his brain is out in no mans land, and only talks to say "My mommy will be back". My son has a issue because his dad left a couple years ago and now has the fear of being left by me which would never ever happen. I feel like its my fault that he is not doing anything in school. He does everything at home but not at school. I called the hunnigton and Sylvia learning schools to see if they could help him and they canm but I can not afford 40.00-46.00 per hour a week. I have no money...I get no child support. I am so upset that I can not stop crying because I feel like a failure as a mother because I can not help my child with what he needs help with.I am a bad mom. Its my fauly. Thats all that keeps going through my head.Have any of you went through this and what did you do that helped your child? Any and all info would great.Thanks for listening to me. I don't think any of this is your fault, I don't know the circumstance of what happened when your son's dad left, as far as what went on and everything. But from what you described, I feel he was traumatized and definitely needs to be in counseling. I don't think he is to young either. They may be able to find out what is really going on. The fact that he is fine at home shows he is at peace when he's with you. I still am just shaking my head at what the teacher had the nerve to ask you, I can't believe the thing's that people can just ask a person, I mean do they think there perfect enough to try and say that has to be why your son acts the way he does (at school). C'mon. I would really try and get him into some sort of counseling (outside the school). And there has to be some sort of help, I know you said you didn't have the money for the one on one training program. Contact the health department in your area and hopefully they can guide you or your local DHS they should have a list of counselors who you can go to for free or at least a very low cost. Good luck to you and remember this isn't your fault.
