We have an appointment with a private speech therapist on Monday hopefully.. DP finally spoke to DSS' mother about the situation. The phone convo went something like this..

DP: We have an appointment on monday with a speech pathologist,

Her: F*** off, what for.. He's fine stop puttin Sh** on him! Tell that S*** (me) to mind her own business.

and slammed down the phone.. DP just looked at me and said "See why I didn't want to tell her"

Then she rang back and organised to have him dropped back to her Monday night.. So yes against her wishes I am still taking him. I think it is so sad that she wont admit he has a problem. It's like she thinks it is a reflection on her. Which it isn't. He has a problem, big deal, lets just fix it!! This is exactly why I am so worried about him.. If she doesn't want to do anything about it, he could just get lost in the school system.. Once DSS is at school we will only be having him from after school Friday's til Monday which means I will have to try and make appointments for Friday arvo's and if I can't get in then too bad he doesn't go! GRRRR............ I am so frustrated!!!!
