My daughter is not OK. By the way, I'm scrapping the format of this blog. Daughter doesn't need to read this, and she won't be able to. I sign out at home, and she doesn't know the password. I'm not going to have her post anymore. Nothing about this blog is in her best interest--except for the benefit it provides me as we journey through this thing and try to find our way.
Daughter is full of anxiety. She is self-destructing at school. My typically A student has become a D and F student. She "forgets" to bring home text books constantly, "forgets" to do homework, or "forgets" to turn it in at school. She picks fights with her best friend and sister. She is touchy and emotional and frustrated with herself and others. She is not the little girl we are used to.
Best we can tell this downward spiral started around two months ago. The ADHD diagnoses was about five weeks ago. So I truly can't blame this behavior on the medication.
In about an hour I'm meeting with her counselor. We need more help.

Oh I am so sorry to hear this. It must be frustrating to see her struggling and not know why.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW you will be able to get to the bottom and figure out what's going on and how to help her.
Hang in there. And keep writing.
