CANCELED PARENTS

 

 We tried to be good parents to the best of our ability and sought solutions to the very great challenges with our daughter. We tried different therapists along with group and individual DBT therapy Dialectical behavior therapy. Our daughter refused to go to school, it was her senior year, I wanted nothing more than for her to graduate. She was smart, she scored in the top percentile on an AP exam, she was plenty capable. She missed too many days, so she was put into online classes. She refused to do her school work, she said it was boring. She was going to one of the best schools in the state, but she longed for DeLaire High School where Dara Colt teaches. Our daughter insisted we enroll her in a different school, so we did. Covid forced closure and she was put in online classes again. She refused to do her work again. I offered to hire a tutor, she pretended to be sick an hour before the tutor arrived. I had to cancel and pay the tutor. She made it clear she did not want a tutor. At
