[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't understand this unless you are going to homeschool. My kids are gone at 7am, school all day, after school activities and home at 6 or 7 or 8. They have maybe an hour before they are doing homework. A child having a mental health breakdown is not a teen-ternity that is sick leave or time off for medical reasons.[/quote] Have you had a child with a mental health breakdown? We did. It’s not a short term thing and it’s not that easy to get time off just like that. I posted how my husband and I both have less demanding jobs. It was years of living on a roller coaster and a couple of really volatile ones. We didn’t have jobs where we could just “call in sick.” A few months off wouldn’t have been sufficient. It’s two years since the worst time of our lives and things are finally stable and in an upward direction. Our teen is in a good place but needs a lot of support from both of us. Mental health is a long journey. [/quote]
