Today was a really bad speech day. L struggled on nearly everything she said, especially this evening. I wondered if she was aware of the struggle. Actually, I wondered how she could not be aware.
And then tonight, after struggling on one word for fifteen seconds or more, she cried a little, tried the word again, and then stopped, looked me in the eye, and said, "Mommy, help me."
So I guess that answers my question.

My God, fluentsoul, that must have felt heartbreaking. I can't bear to see children feeling emotional pain, and I'm not even a mother--I can't imagine what it feels like when it's your child and you can't just snap your fingers and make the problems disappear.
Nonetheless, she will make it through this healthy and well adjusted and confident because she has you as her advocate. But I'm sorry that this is painful for you, too. :( Keep your chin up.
Oh this kills me! I can only imagine how hard this is on you. I am so glad she has you as a mom! She is very lucky.
