Queen of Hearts
and it's kt's spot. I don't know exactly when she will be starting but it's there for her. I took the spot, informed kt who immediately fell to pieces.
She wants to try & make it at a mainstream setting. I let her know
a. I'm the mom
b. this is not a step backwards, but a step to the side
c. she needs this right now since dad died ~ she's going to need a great deal more support over the next months &
d. if she does well for the rest of the school year & through ESY she can transfer back to high school.
It took over an hour to get her calm (including throwing items about the house & threats of suicide) but we did help her calm herself. Kind of gave me a clue that this is what is needed. by the way, I'm treating her like a child according to kt. Geez......she is a child. What does she expect?
I'm so thankful this opening came when it did. The county is threatening me with removing kt from my home if she continues or starts up with school refusal. I saw that coming.....
