[QUOTE="Steely, post: 413967, member: 3301"] Jena - I think that klmno might be right. When I decided to homeschool Matt at 14 - he became even more interdependent and intertwined with me than ever, even tho he was 14. When he was 16 and my sister died, and I was being harassed at work, Matt was not able to separate his identity from mine. He felt all of my feelings plus his. Six months after my sister died, Matt tried to kill himself. It is a dangerous dynamic to have our kids this close to us. If I had to do it over again, I would have had him in school. To my knowledge, if the school district mandates inclusion classrooms, than they are obligated to provide those - no matter how far the distance. IOW you and husband should not have to move, in order to get her inclusion classrooms. I really think you need to focus your energy on what the school district can do for you - rather than what you can do for your difficult child. I know it is hard, as I struggled with the same thing with Matt. I wanted to protect him. Yet, I believe I harmed him more. [/QUOTE]
