[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 526719, member: 6705"] SM - OK. First of all, {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}} Second... No, she can't control your lives but - she is. I know what it's like to not be able to afford treatment. Is there a reason you have to go out of network for the psychiatrist/therapist? About not telling you. A couple of things here. I was a [I]reasonably[/I] "normal" teen (whatever normal is), and you can bet I didn't want to tell my parents [I]anything[/I]. Now add in the fact that she may not be able to articulate the problem, either - she just knows she doesn't wanna go. Public schools are kind of stuck - if the child lives in their district, they gotta attend school there. That said, there are alt schools. I'd never heard of the one Onyxx went to till she got sent there by the PHP. I'd also never heard of the PHP till we got a referral - and it was about 2 miles from my house. But I digress. because your PHP was nowhere near the same. So - she won't wake up and go to school? Call the school (tell difficult child that you're going to, before you do it, though) - tell them you are trying, but she won't. Ask for a truant officer after a few days. At this point she will be repeating a grade - hasn't she missed enough days for this??? [/QUOTE]
