[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 575209, member: 9177"] sister in law says that difficult child is upset and doesn't want to be there, which is interesting because I know difficult child doesn't want to be HERE, either. She has this fantasy world that she wants to live in where her dad and her biomom live happily after where difficult child's life will be all roses and butterflies, but that's NOT gonna happen. I've been telling difficult child for a long time now that one day, reality is going to kick her really hard in the butt. Now is the time. If she doesn't make an ENORMOUS turn-around with her grades and effort at school, she's not going to be accepted back into her school next year. She is in her second year of 8th grade, and despite all we've tried with her, she is still WAY behind grade level. She tests at an "average" intelligence level, but her attention issues really get in the way of learning. She gets frustrated very easily. We're looking into boarding schools. There is one in the Tampa area that we're considering, but we're still in the very beginning phases. If anyone wants to PM me with any ideas, that would be great. As to the therapist, I don't know if we're going to stick with this one. This is the 6th therapist we've tried (long story there, none of it was my decision), and she is part of an organization that we have been told is really not good. We started off with a great therapist when we first moved here, but when our insurance changed, that therapist wasn't in our network any longer. My mother in law was unwilling to pay the exorbitant rates that this therapist charged, and there was NO WAY that husband and I could afford it, so on we went. This first therapist told us to avoid the organization that the current therapist is part of at all costs, that in her opinion they were terrible. Current therapist seems nice enough, but we haven't been with her long enough to know if it's a good match. [/QUOTE]
