I've thought long and hard about posting this.
I'm sharing with you our journey with Lottie and her diagnoses for ADHD.
We want to establish where she is in the terms of how she is affected.
I'm sure some will say
" if you can afford it why make her suffer just get her diagnosed and medication" .
This is where I'm stuck.
My heart breaks at the state of our NHS but also some parts of it work and the structure and we've paid into it since we we're 15 years old.
Exploring different avenues and taking a chance before we pay private because why should we?
Also we are from a low working class family and we are still a working family.
Money is bloody precious.
We both we're raised this way.
We've both seen things growing up that our children won't see but we will also do our best to ensure they are " grounded " and understand the " pound "
I cannot or will not ever just accept our savings should be used flippantly because that will go against the grain.
She is physically well.
We just move forward like all.
" worn out and upside down "
But we move forward.
