[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not suggesting you do or not homeschool, that’s a personal decision, but finances shouldn’t be a factor. It’s not expensive. 
Maybe do it on a temp basis while everyone has a reset with the goal of him going back. [/quote]

It’s expensive if you have to quit your job to do it well.

It is also not recommended in most cases of school refusal because it doesn’t solve the problem of the kid going to school - it just removes the stressor, which isn’t the long term goal of treatment.

OP, I agree this is unsustainable but don’t worry about CPS or truancy.  The principal is the one who will call them, and IME she will gives you a heads up or otherwise warn you that’s coming, and if she knows you are struggling and trying she isn’t likely to do that nuclear option.  I assume from your post that you are doing all the things of therapy, meds, groups, etc.. but come back and post if you need recommendations.

As for the other kid, you must be a good mom to be worried about them too.  Can you carve out one block a week for them?  Maybe on a weekend so the other kid’s school issues aren’t as much at the forefront?  Even just a long walk on Saturday mornings just the two of you would help support the relationship. [/quote]
