Well, unfortunately, it was pretty much a waste of time. It was basically for us to ask questions—which I actually didn’t really have many to start with and the few I had were answered pretty quick—and then the other people just wouldn’t stop yapping. Sure, there were some good points and some new info muddled in there, but it basically sounded like a mom’s group with everyone comparing and sharing stories (and on top of that, it sounded like everyone was MUCH worse off than me, so the info was stuff that really had no relevance). And at this point I don’t need a mom’s group to commiserate—I understand they might (and they were all thrilled to be out of the house away from their kids), but it just wasn’t what I wanted or needed. I did want to talk to some of the therapy providers that were there, but the yappers were still yapping 30+ minutes after the meeting was scheduled to be over, so I had to leave to get home to my babysitter (and for Owen’s bedtime).
GRRR.
