I recommend that you not do that for the reasons copa stated. Any chance of transferring to another school within the district? Have you discussed filing a complaint(s) with your State Ed Agency and/or Us Dept of Ed and/or OCr?

It saved mine, too, Ester. :) My difficult child is now 20. He graduated high school and is working. Treading water, but hanging in there. Ex and mine's separation and divorce put him in a tailspin he's still recovering from. I'm worn out and used up but starting to catch my breath and put me back...

I needed to highlight this for myself as a reminder..... Very hard to do when your child begs for your help "this one last time." And I know and he knows that it's not the "last time." His ridiculous decisions....what can I say? You all already know. Still working on myself in this...

I believe many of our kids don't give a flip about how their behavior impacts us. But sometimes they push, and push, and push and leave us no choice. Hugs

So sorry Barbara. Amazing how our kids take dead aim at self-sabotage going 100 miles per hour. And there's not a thing we can do about it.

I wouldn't give it another thought. Sounds like it's just an excuse to me.....

Welcome noname :) It is easy to look around and see someone worse off than we each are, but everybody seems to have their load -- not necessarily better or worse -- just a different load. I remember when difficult child was 8ish, taking him to Occupational Therapist (OT). There was a mom there with her son in a wheel chair...

Geez.... Very sorry to read this. I've recently been through a divorce. Apparently all is fair in love, war and divorce. Protect yourself the best you can. Big hug

I'm so terribly, terribly sorry.

Good luck! :)

Ditto TerrJ2 :)

It most likely is computer generated, but not sure I'd ignore it completely. Wouldn't hurt to write a letter acknowledging receipt and referring the 'author' to the counselor for "any explanation you need on this matter." Just in case -- might could save some hassle going to court.

My little darlin does the same thing -- slow motion. Unless, of course, it's something he wants to do. Then he can kick it into high gear. Makes me crazy!!

But of course it is. lol

Most, in my opinion. The way this is written, people may interpret it to mean that medication doesn't help at all. That's incorrect in my opinion. The medication helps in many cases, but it doesn't completely mask symptoms. That's my personal experience anyway -- medication is still not a "magic bullet."

They can likely add they are natural risk-takers and often have little to no commen sense. It'd be interesting to know their opinions of what can be done.

Wow! News is reporting 650,000 without power. Hope it's none of our members.

Disheartening to say the least. Scary to think our justice system is suppose to be the best in the world, isn't it? :(
