[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check out Harmony Heights. I think they no longer board and only take day students, but may be able to suggest a therapeutic boarding school near you. [/quote]

We have actually briefly talked about boarding school.

I have considered moving and switching schools  for our daughter since she seems to be so unhappy. The friends I helped her make are no longer close with her because she doesn’t reciprocate and she makes no effort to be a friend. And she’s too old now for me to help her make and keep friends. But mostly she has no desire or need for friends.

When I asked how she might feel about moving/changing schools to do a fresh start/restart, she hated the idea because everything would be the same and said she would only like the idea if she could get away from us, because we are the ones who are making her life a living hell.

So I asked her if the thought of boarding school appealed to her. It did not. She said it would just be strangers telling her what to do instead of parents, which was even worse. And basically the insults followed - how can I be so stupid to think that might be a good idea, blah blah. [/quote]
