[quote=Anonymous]My dyslexic daughter found a husband who adores her and provides enough so that she can work whatever job she is comfortable with. Currently that is a low stress part time administrative position. I'm nervous about her future, but she at least finally seems happy and content.

She did well in high school, even taking a couple AP classes, and I had high hopes for her, but she left college after the first year to become a live in nanny. I was so upset at the time and felt like all her hard work was for nothing. She later admitted to me that when I thought she was doing well, she was barely making it, and the stress and anxiety from school work was making her miserable. She said school just made her feel like a failure and she was tired of feeling that way. It doesn't help that her two other siblings have doctorates. She has said that she is not going to have children because she doesn't want to risk passing on the dyslexia (she got it from her dad), and this makes me really sad for her. It makes me wonder if she struggled more than I ever realized.[/quote]
