[quote=Anonymous]OP here with a few updates. We are currently lowering the medication dose and crossing our fingers that things work out. The doctor is pleased with the progress so far - thanks again to everyone who suggested early action. Thank you to everyone who took my side for making me feel less like a failed parent. I also appreciate the thoughts about the resilience - being resilient is indeed important. As I mentioned from the very beginning, we do have discussions about failure to meet some expectations and I felt like my DD would be able to take a "no" much easier than this. This case felt way too unfair even for me as a parent, I can barely imagine how my DD felt about it.

However, I disagree that this has any resemblance with the fat shaming case that one person shared here. Kudos for the resilience this person built outside the home. Their story includes unsupportive parent who were blaming them for not being in shape. It is remarkable that this person was able to overcome that kind of mistreatment with the help of somebody else. However, we never blamed our DD for not being able to play better or make any club team. We were always supportive and my DD understands that volleyball is not a career for her (it's just a hobby). And it is nice when this hobby keeps her healthy and active (we only have this one case to point at as an exception, when her mental health took a hit). [/quote]
