“Every day, you dread the phone ringing. It’s 9:30 a.m., and you know it’s the school. Your child says he feels sick or wants to come home. When you say no, he gets angry and shuts down. He feels like no one cares. You feel helpless. He is barely passing, but there is no extra support. He doesn’t qualify, and assessments have a two-year wait. You just want him to feel smart, safe, and valued. When he says he wishes he was never born, it breaks you.”
