I cry at almost every meeting I have with the school, I managed to keep it together at a recent meeting with the superintendent because it was important to me that she knew I was 100% serious about what I came to talk to her about, but it was really hard.
I hate that I cry, but once I mentioned it to a couple of friends I realized that they all do it too. I get so frustrated that I can't get them to see how important this is, but the fact that I have so many issues from my own childhood related to this issue doesn't help either.
