[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 278479, member: 3450"] Thanks Suz and everyone else for your congrats! My difficult child 2/easy child, M, is graduating high school on June 25th and I don't think anyone will sigh a bigger sigh of relief than me! She has hated high school so much! She has struggled due to emotional issues--intellectually she should have had no problems. She had to be on home instruction for several semesters, had a reduced schedule, had to be tutored all during the summer between 10th and 11th grade in order to advance to 11th grade. I do have to say that our school district has been very supportive of us--so different than a lot of the stories I have read here. My difficult child 1 never did make it to graduation (class of 2007) and I was sad when her class graduated and she wasn't part of it. However, she did get her GED while in rehab when she was 17 so I am very proud of her for that. difficult child 2/easy child will be doing a gap year program starting next Fall. She is going to India for 3 months, will be home for a month at Christmas, and then will do a solo internship for the next 3 months. I am excited but nervous--I am hoping she will be able to manage her emotional states. I think it will be a positive experience and she will come back in a much better emotional and mental place but you never know! Congrats to all you other parents and it is so nice to know there are other parents who also will be celebrating their kid just getting through high school in one piece! Jane [/QUOTE]
