[QUOTE="robinm1922, post: 241186, member: 6423"] Hello, I am where you are going! My difficult child is in 10th grade and I have decided to let her live her consequences, she failed English the first quarter and just squeaked out a D the second. If she is not able to motivate herself to do really well the second half there is a good chance she is going to fail the year. If she passes all but one quarter then she will be able to do a 3 week summer school session if she fails more than that then she will be repeating the 10th grade. I made myself sick worrying over her grades, then I realized her illness was more of a concern. I know my difficult child will do better when she is better so I am working on that before the rest. The bad habits she develops on the way to healthy is something she will need to break. I can't fix that! I feel much better taking that approach, the hardest thing to do is to watch your child fail. I have seen for mine it is the only way she is going to worry about getting better, when she sees I can't fix this she will be on her own. I never looked at it as detaching but I like that term and that is how I will look at it. Now if I could get husband to detach that would be awesome! Daisy if that is the worse thing that happens to our difficult child's then we can count ourselves as lucky. I probably have the wrong attitude but my difficult child is still so new into her diagnosis that we are still trying to figure out what all the problems are. I can only take it one thing at a time and one day at a time! Best of luck, Robin [/QUOTE]
