I just wanted to reach out and send a heart felt thank you for your answer and advice for my question in the Q&A in day of SEND.  Your reply had me in tears, as after a lengthy and difficult journey over the last few years, constantly being gas lit and not heard I felt you really heard me and understood. I really feel like you get it. So thank you for your thorough answer, it meant so much.
