Don't hate the fact that this makes you want to cry. You want to protect your children. Nothing else in the world will ever mean as much as your children...once you have them. It sounds like you're doing the best you know how under the circumstances and you haven't give up. And if they mistake your love for your children and your concern for their well being as weak, then they're the ones who are questionable. Not you. You're the normal one. As administrators, educators, parents, a community, this should make us all want to cry.
After all, they're the professionals. They're trained in their craft. You're your child's advocate. But, realistically, these are the people who are supposed to have information to share with you on how to get things back on track. That's what these meetings are supposed to be about. How do we get things back on track? But, often they're run like liability meetings. "We've told you. Now, we're clear of responsibility."
Is there a possibility that your pediatrician or a doctor, or perhaps someone else can refer you to some one else who can help you and your daughter? It would be great if you could find another school. Sometimes a change can make all the difference in the world. But, sometimes, it's not possible. It would be too late for this semester, anyway. But, a new perspective in a better environment can sometimes be of benefit.
Your family is fortunate to have you in their corner fighting on their behalf. So, hang in there. You're swinging like a champ. If you must cry, just keep one eye open, so you can keep fighting on behalf of your kids.
Good Luck!
