Homeschooling was a nightmare and the little darling snuck and spit out her schoolday medicine.
Increasingly, this is something I'm on the lookout for. Oppositional behavior. Don't ask. We later gave her one of her short-acting pills, but it had little effect.
I tried, but we didn't get far with math, science [draw a skeleton, share tomorrow morning in Zoom meeting with teacher] or Spanish. She did her ELA classwork.
She did group counseling with a few kids on Google meet and had weekly therapy via FaceTime with her therapist.
We might start DBT therapy together. I hear it is very pricey. Therapist gave me number to call. If it helps, okay. Figgy did some of that in high school.
I wish I had a more upbeat message tonight, but I don't. I'm at the end of my rope.
It's 7:59 pm and I''m about to retreat to the bedroom and read a book about the best ponds on Cape Cod [see above]--which I bought a few years ago at the gift shop at Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. I pretty much treasure every little thing I've found there.
Good night. Dan and Figgy taking over.

Take a bow, Alice. You showed up, you did your thing, you are on the lookout, you are exploring options, and you at long last yelled for help so you could rest a little to do the same tomorrow. You’re a smart, caring parent in a tricky situation. You realize literally nothing you could do would make this smooth, right? You do your best, and then sleep easy. Off to bed myself.🛌
