[QUOTE="cindygirl, post: 31365, member: 1744"] Stormy I can appreciate where you are coming from. We all have moments when we would rather see them gone or dead then to envision them living a lifetime of this. Your frustration is natural and it doesn't make you a bad person. In Canada they are forced to keep kids in school (honest its the law to send your children to school) but mine hasn't attended regularly since Oct. 15. She is in Grade 8 and while we blithely believed she was going to school she was skipping with friends and off doing drugs and I really don't want to know what else. We finally found out she was skipping at the end of November (they send a note home when she doesn't bring gym strip, but no letter for missing 47 days) when she disappeared for 3 days. The last day my daughter attended school I had 5 phone calls from the Vice Principal because our difficult child wasn't working dillegently in class and was fiddling with her purse. Really, she only missed 58 days. I called the superintedent of the school and was referred to Leadership services. We asked for a change of school or a homework program and they referred us back to the same school. Yesterday I had 2 people from a Mental Health Crisis centre sitting on my couch asking why an Attendance Board had not been held. Because they don't want her there. [/QUOTE]
