[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked with middle schoolers and the oldest were 14.  There is no way I would trust them in that situation. Their brains do not work the way ours do.  I would be okay with an older teen staying home in that situation, but not a younger one who is 13.  Nope.  Stupid risk to take. DV is extremely unpredictable and can lead quickly to shootings.  My teen does not need to be home alone for that and dealing with the police when they come around afterward. These are traumatic events. I can't believe people are so blase about it.  [/quote]

Exactly, and I don't know, or need to know, the nature of the tests but it sounds like you have enough going on right now and your concern is valid.  No reason to pile more worry on yourself.

I think people can be blase when they haven't seen or lived through domestic violence episodes.  Shit gets crazy and out of control, really quick.

Nothing will probably happen but if you have the day off, take your daughter and then go out to a special lunch or sightseeing or shopping during the long wait between appointments.[/quote]
