[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 166997, member: 3626"] Heather, you are absolutely doing the right thing for Wynter. You're being proactive in trying to find her help while letting her succeed at home where she can. That's all any parent can do. I wish I had had your strength and knowledge and, most importantly, your compassion when my daughter was Wynter's age. I truly didn't understand my daughter's pain and just got angry and frustrated. I forced her to go to school. I forced her to survive but I didn't help her. You are helping Wynter. It took me at least three more years of forcing mine before it got through my thick skull that I needed to help my child more. She was and is a strong young lady but not so strong that she didn't need more of my understanding and less of my strength. Wynter gets the best of both -- your compassion, understanding and your strength. You will hold her up when she needs that. You will push her when she needs that push. You can't take away her pain but you can make it bearable. That's what you are doing. Hugs to you both. I have faith in you. You will help Wynter through this. Hopefully, she will come out of this stronger and more willing to be proactive when she needs it in the future. If not, you'll be there to push her when she needs it. [/QUOTE]
