Thank you for saying what you feel. Again I apologize for not being clear...usually I am in here posting while 10 month old vies for
my attention or a breast and my 5 yr old talks
and talks.........usually I am in a mama-haze
I don't know you're dd personally so I was just stating a thought possibilty of her maybe not being ready. Sometimes we assume quickly in these situations is all...that they are or aren't ready etc....it was just a thought from personal experience. I would never say that she was or wasn't as I couldn't possibly begin to know.
I feel your stress. When we were struggling whether to pull dd from that horrid school where the bad situation was, we tossed, turned and tormented so much I was just seething most days and crying the others. We debated and soul searched and researched and talked to teacher friends and eventually our guts won us over reminding us we needed to do what was going to work best for HER not US. That was hard. At first we listened to other parent's saying let her toughen up blah blah blah she'll deal.........then we just figured that couldn't be right at all. What I mean by what would have been good for US is that keeping her there and not rocking the proverbial boat by causing an issue over it would have been fine for everyone ideally. BUT that wasn't what
she needed at all. I am not saying you feel she should stay or go one way, your dd, but don't be swayed by what others may suggest..which can easily happen when we as parents are put under such stress.
That was all I meant with regards to the advocating for her. I never said nor do I feel you weren't at all...the opposite in fact..I think you sound like a truly amazing sensitive mama who is desperate to find a solution. I just gently wanted to remind you that THAT was what mattered here...YOUR advocating and always being her number one supporter. And I see you are!
Trust yourself to know what to do. You'll find the path. It may not be easy or come to you soon, but it will.
Keep us posted.
