Thank you for discussing this issue so openly and publicly. It is widespead. My child has endured exactly the same in their last two years at primary school. What is wonderful though, is watching them come back to themselves and now looking forward with joy, to finding their crew and a fresh start at hight school. It's a diffcult time to navigate but, there is light at the end of the tunnel!
LOVE IT! At the birth of my daughter a number of VERY well dressed people arrived late in the proceedings, hurridly due to minor complications. They'd been called in to assist, coming from a medical professionals function held that evening (it was around midnight) and how wonderful to have the midwife helped by a woman in a ball gown!
