Sharon, I've been out of sorts the last few days & have missed quite a bit. I agree that your easy child/difficult child isn't your typical teen. She has a tendency to really shut down & shut everyone (not just you) out of her life.
Call school counselor. We have wm at the tender age of 15 going on 16, though he is a brilliant young man, in a transitional school. It's all about learning to live in the community, fill out applications, interviewing for jobs at the school, etc, along with academics.
You & husband are educators & easy child/difficult child's situation must feel like a knife going through your heart.
Pull her out of cheering if that is interfering with her academics; Fran's suggestions are good. I'd be checking for drugs as well. Do it here with kt.
Sending you hugs this morning.
