[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has been out of school (doing online) this whole year.  Anxiety, health challenges.  They are a junior in HS.  I am having so much trouble dealing with how this happening this year is going to affect them so much more than if it happened in middle school.  I'm thinking ahead to college apps, wondering if they'll even go to school and feeling so sad.  I don't feel like I have anyone to talk to about it, so here I am.  I'm seeing so many college acceptances and my kid is doing online school and I don't even know if they'll go to college.  1 year ago this wouldn't have been a question but now here we are.

All through HS they have had significant health challenges, but we managed until now.

I am so sad watching everyone else lead their lives.  No one really reaches out to see how they are doing.  It is so lonely and I am falling into a depression.

I'm sorry for typing this but it is so hard.  I just needed to "say" it somewhere.  [/quote]

OP your post really spoke to me. We have a 2e child who began struggling at this time and the big thing that we both did that was freeing to both of us was not making college the goal anymore. I think our child will still go to college eventually but we are both happy thinking of alternatives too. We've met a number of other happy young adults who ended up delaying college a year, going to 2 year schools or doing other types of programs so that gives me a lot of hope.[/quote]
