From A Special Needs Dad: I’m Angry

I’m going to be very open and honest about my feelings in this post.  I’m extremely frustrated,  angry and overwhelmed right now because Gavin is making things even more complicated.

I spoke with the school today and it turns out that what Gavin was saying about falling asleep in martial arts every day wasn’t true. 

The only time Gavin had an issue was yesterday. That issue was simply being tired but not sleeping.

Gavin claims that his teacher wasn’t paying attention but Gavin was standing in the very front row.  He was literally in front of his instructor and that was done so that he could keep and eye on Gavin.

I’m so angry with Gavin because we have been catching him exploiting his health issues and our concern for him, in order to get out of doing things or get attention.

He’s putting us in an incredibly difficulty position and he’s doing it on purpose. 

We spoke with Dr. Patti tonight about this and she agrees this is obviously a problem. In fact, he did it again while we were with Dr. Patti and we caught him.

I just don’t know what to do anymore. It’s becoming more and more clear that Gavin needs to end removed from the house.

I love Gavin, I really do but I’m so, so sick of this.
