I really need prayers for myself and my family. This has been one of the most, if not the most, trying years of my life. In February of last year, my dad passed away after a long struggle with Parkinson's disease. Soon after, I had to take both my kids out of their school because my son (bright, gifted, great kid) was being abused by his teacher and classmates. I didn't think at the time that finding a new school for them to attend would be a big deal. Now, one year and half dozen schools later, I am back to homeschooling again! I want so desperately to find a good school for my kids. They are shy, sweet sensitive kids and I don't know why we deserve to go through all that we have. Now, to make matters worse, I got a call from human services today saying someone had made a call worrying that we are not getting our children an education. It is a long story, but you have no idea what we have been through! Every time I try to pick myself up, it seems like I get knocked to the ground again. We are good people. Sometimes I feel like the world is just out to get us. I toured another school today but have trouble finding the optimism that this one--or any--will work out.
