Hi Aishaakbar,

Was sorry to read your post as you sound so desperate and I have been there myself, years ago, when my son was small. He was badly behaved with cerebral palsy because the "Medical pigs" put me through a normal delivery with advanced arthritis in my spine, I couldn't do the natural birth they forced on me and it led to my son being born with a minimal degree of cerebral palsy. I struggled and struggled to bring him up, on my own, with no help from anywhere. In the end I put him in a boarding school for his secondary education. I had to fight really hard to get it for him. He always found me an embarrassment, and does to this day, (he's 32 now and I have never met the girl he lives with.) He wouldn't even let me attend the day he graduated University, because I can only walk with sticks and he was ashamed of me. I was heartbroken and have left him nothing in my Will. Don't allow your son to be ashamed of you. Smack him if he creates about the way you are and tell him over and over that you cannot help your problems. Have you tried changing G.P.'s? Some are more sympathetic than others. Try asking anyone you know living in your area, if they can suggest a sympathetic G.P. At the time when I had my son, in the 1980's, I had this really judgemental freak of a G.P. and he virtually killed or maimed every member of my family. He wouldn't do anything any good for any of his patients. I moved away and was surprised to get help and kindness from a G.P. in another town. I had not been able to walk for years but all my benefits had been turned down. I had only moved a few weeks when I suddenly qualified to receive them, but I remember the bad years I had, and send you my best wishes. Don't lose hope.
