1. She is actively sabotaging your child's health and recovery by masking the situation, when calling meetings and asking the school for services and accommodations could help your daughter have a successful school experience despite her challenges.

2. Therefore, you have to act in your child's best interest and take over. Be very clear and direct with her that she is denial, must seek psychological help herself and that in the meantime, you will do whatever is necessary to get your daughter help. Not talking to the neighbors, but the school counselor and asking what accommodations could be put in place. Big difference.

3. My son was born with special needs, I had to mourn what might have been pretty early on. However, with an IEP in school and the right program, he is taking advanced classes and getting straight As in middle school. I did a ton of research myself because my husband was like your wife, and took the lead on everything. Marriage can get very tricky when spouses don't agree on a child's treatment.

This is a very different situation.[/quote]

It's not, and that was my point: public school systems have behavioral and mental health support that can be put in place for the students who need it. Those are special needs, too! But if OP doesn't ask, nothing is ever going to be offered.

This is the whole problem with mental health and special needs - for a portion of the population, it's so taboo that they don't even know there is help available.

I would encourage you to post about your child's needs on the special needs forum, OP. You will perhaps get more useful advice than here. You are now in treatment mode, not "my wife is sabotaging us" mode. Forget about your wife. Focus on what your child needs.
