[quote=Anonymous]DW contantly harps on DD if she gets a C in a class or on a test. It is unbearable. School counselors and therapists say you may have to let something go, and I agree. I "C" is not the end of the world. DW and DD and I also have different expectations. DW wanted DD to apply to H. Daughter surmised, correctly, that she would have a snowball's chance in hell of getting in there and wouldn't want to go if she did (we visited), so I agreed with DD that she didn't have to apply. DW lost her sh*t on me and DD about this. So, IMHO, if any one factor other than the actual school and peer pressure is feeding DD's anxiety, it is DW, but she doesn't want to hear it. In any case, DD therapist says go away to school to get away from home. I agree. I will be ready with the truck to pack up DD's belongings and move her to college come Fall. [/quote]
