MOST parents have a horrible time with sending their baby off to school! I cried and cried when #3 went. We just, like you, put on a brave face. Honestly, I barely know anything about you but I can positively say that you are a fantastic parent. Agonizing over decisions we make on behalf of our kids is a sure sign of it. Ella,

Don't beat yourself up about it, you're only trying to do your best - there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe you're feelings will change as time goes on. I know the last year has been a bit of a blur for me with my wee boy, but now he's nearly one and things are already so much easier than even a month ago. You have a lot on your plate and you're only one person. Don't try to be superwoman! Here’s some more (((hugs))).

You should definitely not consider yourself a failure at all! Please, you should meet some parents I have to deal with (too young, abusive, indifferent, mean, etc) and then we'll talk!

And you may get the opportunity again. But for now, it sounds like school is the right place for him to get his education and I wish you both luck that he settles quickly and is happy.

I know how awful things were when you had to take Harry out of school and I know how hard the last few months have been for you. I don't know how one makes a decision about what's right for one's children when faced with such difficulties on both sides. I'm so sorry that you felt you had to make such a decision. Hugs to you.
