Hi to any who are out there. feeling very blue tonight. No sign of any change in my situation, being without two of my children this week is getting to me and my teaching job is difficult (problem area, problem kids). I don't even have the strength to react as I should in class. Some kids just ignore me, I can keep them back after school, write remarks in their log-books for parents to sign, you name it. It has no effect, so I'm not advancing as I should be. Too much noise and disruptive behaviour. I feel with those teens like with my H: I'm too hesitant, my voice is too soft, they see a weakness and exploit it, ignoring and despising me. It feels somehow that the failure of my M and these difficulties are linked, a symptom of some inability to impose myself in a social situation. Maybe I'm not seeing this properly. Just feels very bleak tonight. NCU
