I hardly ever comment on blogs but you have moved me this evening. Forgive me, I'm afraid to say anything in case it's the wrong thing, or sounds in any way trite or patronising. So please can I just send you love and warm wishes from up in Yorkshire. You are right and brave to ask for help. I have been there too - like Kel, blister packs worked better for me at the time than talking - at least they gave me that little boost I needed to get myself going each day. Please may I simply send my love to you, Rukai and his dad? I can't find the right words to say but I'm thinking of you...xxBladesgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09853583248139006414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195981949747094692.post-19021604953310084092017-05-09T21:38:01.655+01:002017-05-09T21:38:01.655+01:00Hi Maxine !

Hoping you do get help and have some good local support - of course it's great that you are able to cry out for it but of course sad that it gets to this point. Use other people as much as you can - try and get someone to bring you some meals for the freezer?

I went and got help. The kind that come in blister packs - the talking kind has never worked for me. But it's working for now and the fog has thinned a little.

Whatever it takes. I trust your judgment, and I sure hope you do, too! I remember the worry I had when my grandson wasn't talking by 2, then 2 1/2, and the frustration for everyone to know what he wanted, and even now, at 5 1/2, he and I go through some frustration when I dont understand what he is saying. I can only imagine how hard it is for Rukai to not be able to express what he's thinking, feeling, experiencing, and for you and his dad to struggle to understand him, to be frustrated at how slow the systems are, and how inadequate the help seems. No wonder you're feeling depressed. Your most loved little boy needs help, and there are some things you can't do to make it all better. Know that you're a diligent, loving mom, and whatever you need to do, do it!<br /><br />While you're waiting for the system to pick up the pace, I have some sites I can share with you that I found while we were dealing with slow speech development, if you'd like. Have to run, client is here.<br />Xo - alohaKristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985465839215191592noreply@blogger.com
