[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, yes we are looking at other school options for next year.  I realize I have failed as a parent, but hoping there is still time to get both of us back on track.  I have an older special needs daughter who required a lot of my attention the past few years.  It's not an excuse but it's been really hard.[/quote]

If you have an older special needs child, you knew how much care it took. You chose to bring into your life another child that you were aware that you couldn’t take care of. Why would you do that? [/quote]

Unless there is a large age gap, it is likely that she wasn’t aware of the special needs of the older child when she had the younger one.

OP- PPs are being incredibly harsh and smug, wanting to believe that this would never be their kid. You now know what is going on, and it sounds like taking her phone and essentially grounding her is the right move.

I agree with finding and activity to keep her busy — though not sure you can just put a 13 YO into a sport that will keep them busy all the time unless they have been playing that sport for awhile and can play at a club/travel level.

Wow! Excuse maker condemning those who are parenting and there for their children.   [/quote]

Maybe you all could focus on helping the OP for the situation she is NOW instead of shaming her for the past. That’s not helping.[/quote]
