[QUOTE="buddy, post: 499525, member: 12886"] OH so many hugs. I hope the "graduation" goes smoothly. (actually I hope she has a melt down traumatic fit in front of everyone and they call an ambulance and get a darn clue but????) As far as the counselor calling psychiatric hospital...what do you think they will tell him??? I am sorry but I have lost all confidence and I would not even encourage that. they already told you their opinion and it will not help her in school. I would TELL school what she needs. She needs accomodations, reduced stress, revised expectations, modified tests, etc. Maybe even a modified schedule having her arrive or leave early if you think it could help. YOU call the shots, do not leave it up to the psychiatrist, the school and most especially not the the impassioned pleas from difficult child who says she wants to do hte same as before, she can do it, she promises, the other kids will think she is different, she is dumb, the world is ending, etc.... be DEAF to that. She needs your confidence that you can do this job and you ARE doing it by the way so stop the blame. This parenting trip is a learning journey for life. You could not have been expected to know what to do with a child like this. Hate to beat the cancer analogy to death but you would never hold a parent who had a child with cancer responsible for not knowing every step of the way what to do with the child's whole life as it is impacted by such a devastating illness. Be gentle with yourself in terms of judgement, be hard on yourself in terms of action! You can do this. [/QUOTE]
