Millions of warm hugs for magz.

My 2 cents on your daughter: I remember being forced to do stupid things. In my case, it was exercise worksheets that had to be colored in addition to doing the actual work, whatever that was. I refused to do the coloring. The teacher made me, so I scribbled a purple crayon over the whole thing. Well I got a talking to at home on that one.

My inclination would be to let her do the things that interest her, at school. And not worry about the things she doesn't want to do. There's enough time in this life for her to learn about boredom and drudgery.

Well, I am thinking about how M learned to walk and to use a potty... she showed no interest, she protested all attempts to train her and I just let her have it her way. At 1 year 1 month she just started walking in one week and a month before her third birthday I sensed she was ready and she got potty trained in two days.
And I think about how I learn... there is a lot of unconcious process of knowledge and skills taking their right places in my brain. It takes time of doing nothing about it.

On Monday I will have a meeting with her school support team... my therapist encourages me to be myself, true to my feelings and beliefs even if they would clash with feelings and beliefs of others. I hope I can.

Ex and I had to start homeschooling our son (one thing we agree 100% on) because schools here are NT heaven and AS other-place and were ignorantly teaching him that our religion doesn't really exist. Second one was the final straw.

Thanks :heart:
Yesterday I felt well enough even to go to my climbing gym :) I didn't climb since the summer, there was still rock climbing gear at my harness (in the gym you don't need most of it). So tomorrow I expect massive muscle ache but we - me, my husband, kids, two friends - had fun :)

I can't homeschool, it is very regulated in my country and I would need to do a lot of paperwork and endure constant supervision. With poor executive functioning, social anxiety and possibility of another mental collapse at any moment, I can't.

The difference that you can make for your daughter is EVERYTHING. I made a difference for my daughter and it felt as though I was given a second chance at life but for the both of us.
