Sometimes writing it down helps, I have nearly always enjoyed being a stay at home mum, there are times when I would like a few pennies of my own, but hey ho.
Kathy I hope your right, I do think she relies on me, but all I can do is keep everything crossed that some of it stuck in her head.
Can you imagine what I will be like if she actually goes to Uni, I shall have to take gin intravenously!!!!
Bless you all for supporting my moan/thoughts/worries etc etc I really do appreciate it

Libby, I have been thinking a lot about this, now if she was blind, she would have a reader (if the exams were not in braille), if she was disabled i.e. no arms etc, she would have a writer, so why can't T have a writer, (do you have a letter stating that she has this issue to give a copy to the examination board) have you asked about this .... or answer the questions verbally that can be recorded and transcribed. She would be in a room by herself and the writer/tutor with extra time but that way it would not be so difficult.
I believe you have a right to have a right old moan at her and it will do you both the world of good, at the end of the day T is still a teenager and all teenager's need a good prod to move them forwards now and again. So do not feel guilty.
You are the 'bestest' mum/wife and don't you forget it
Lots of hugs Libby!
We have a spare room if you need a break, or you could use our guest flat!
You are a wonderful Mum, and T will realise this later.
Son No 2 was a real ***, he is dyslexic, we new he had problems, but its hard to get the help.He is now a qualified carpenter, has a lovely girl friend, and has recently bought his own house.He has also just joined the TA. I,m very proud!
Things will get better!
Dragonfly:- this is one of the reasons we are going into college tomorrow, I believe she should have extra help, she already gets extra time and we have been told this is all she is entitled to. Last year with the selection of courses she has she was in exams one day from 09.00 through to gone 1700. I know for a fact and if I had thought about it and made a note of the late exams they will have been the ones she got low marks on.
We are going to get her a laptop, we had hoped she would manage without (as she will get one from the council for Uni anyway)but its becoming extremely obvious that this is not the case.
Cookie, bless you for the offer, that is so kind, but T has a dicky doo daa, even if I go up to my mums for a few days, I spend most of my time away on the phone to her as she always seems to find something to phone me about.
My wonderful hubby and I have already decided that we will do everything in our power to help her get to Uni. To give her the chance. But sadly we expect her not to get past her first year, she may surprise us, as she did when she went to college, and I cross everything and hope she does, otherwise we will prepare ourselves to pick up the pieces! _________________ "If we reduce the amount of stuff we allow to accumulate in our lives, we won't have to organise it"

Awe Libby. I have not had this problem with my children. Of which I count myself very fortunate. I hope you can sort out the problem, and I think you are being very sensible and brave. Thinking of you. xx
Had a meeting with the college support today, also Kathryn came up with a great idea where T looks 'outside the box' on Uni courses and gave some ideas of ones available at Worcester (she is a good girl) and T's juices where flowing so to speak!!
So lots of positive vibes at the mo!!!! _________________ "If we reduce the amount of stuff we allow to accumulate in our lives, we won't have to organise it"
