The day from Hell
I don't like being yelled at all day long and yet that's what I got from my parents all day today. I'm sorry you can skip reading this post but I really have got to vent. I've been told that my house isn't perfect, I don't do enough to help my dd with her autism, that I let her do too much herself, that she should be in public school and that I shouldn't be working. Well, I'm sorry that my house looks lived in and that we have projects going on for school. I'm sorry that I don't have a perfect child. I'm sorry that I don't coddle my dd. And I'm sorry that I can't live off of Social Security alone. I'm sorry that I don't feel she'd thrive in public school. I'm sorry that I want my dd to have a really good life and to have the very best that I can give her. What it comes down to is that I'm not perfect and they think that they are and so I should be. It's just ludicrous but I can't be exactly what they want me to be. I'm my own person and I'm doing a lot of great things for my dd so it's time they stand up and take notice while understanding that I am happy with who I am and that we aren't slobs but aren't perfect either. THE END

How awful for you that you don't have the support that you need!! As hard as it may be sometimes I would encourage you to keep on with what you're doing with your daughter. I am a homeschool mom of two and we have homeschooled for seven years. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I just found your blog and haven't read many of your posts yet and I don't know much about you but I can tell you that homeschooling your daughter, in my opinion, is one of the best things you could possibly do for her! The public school system is a mess and I think it does more harm to children than good.
Don't give up - the rewards are wonderful. :)
