New poster.
Of course it is. the qusetion isn't what is more important. the question is what is best in the sitaution for the mental health (and including given other considerations).[/quote]

Different new poster. That was my thought as well, that it would be WORSE for mental health to stay home ruminating about what everyone thinks about her. It would be very hard not to catastrophize the situation of given an entire free day to wonder what everyone is saying about her.

You did the right thing, op. It's so hard when they take out their anxiety on you. When my dd yells at me like that, like everything is my fault, it feels horrible. She is getting better at identifying feelings as she matures and will often now tell me later something like "sorry for yelling at you in the car. I just was feeling awful and scared to go into school but it wasn't your fault at all, you were just there."[/quote]
