[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 646855, member: 15473"] You are not a bad parent you are a parent who is overwhelmed and getting no help from your kids or their father. Why isn't he attending court? Doesn't he share responsibility for the children he helped create? He has dumped your difficult child and her issues on you for long enough. I know he isn't the worlds best but he can do a hell of a lot more than he is. As for the kids. Sit easy child at the kitchen table and tell him he isn't going anywhere. Turn off the TV and cut the internet off for an hour every night. He can sit there are study or he can sit there and write sentences but he isn't going to do anything fun. Tell easy child you are contacting the school and requesting extra services for him since he can't do his work. Let him know that might require him changing classes or staying after school. Maybe even attending lessons during recess or excess classes like health and PE. in my humble opinion your difficult child needs a kick in the pants. Not litteraly but she needs to know that you will no longer tolerate this. If she has so much anxiety that she can't go to school then she needs to be enrolled in homeschool. If she can't do that then she needs to drop out and get her GED. On that note if she choses to drop out she needs a job. Right now you difficult child is sitting in the house having a nice relaxing day in bed playing on the internet. While you are at work stressed. Your easy child is sitting back and doing poorly in class because he doesn't want to study and you are worried about it. [/QUOTE]
