DH made the decision to send SD away to a therapeutic boarding school in another state and the school sent a company to pick her up on Monday. I’m really not sure about this, but it was DH’s choice. DH is freaked out that SD is doing worse in the special ed program and he doesn’t see any future for her. SD turns 16 this summer and she’s failing in high school. This school he found has a college prep and doesn’t deal with special ed kids. So I’m not sure if it’s the right place for her. DH still feels that the only gauge of SD’s success or if she’s doing better is how she’s doing in school.

SD is now in a special education program and is in constant conflict with the aide assigned to her. Most of the time SD ignores the aide and won’t even respond to questions and refuses to do what she is told. But every once in a way, SD loses her temper and blows up at the aide. Both of the suspensions are for cussing out the aide when she lost her temper.

Not much of an update, but in case anyone wondered SD (15) is still hospitalized in a psychiatric ward. Its been over a week now. She refuses to even talk to DH and doesn’t want to come home. She may be transferred to another facility that is less restrictive (and cheaper). I’m not sure when that will happen. I know money shouldn’t be the major concern but it is in the back of DH and my minds. This is so expensive and insurance isn’t covering everything.

I need some help with ideas for Christmas gifts for SD who’s 15 but not your typical teen. DH is clueless when it comes to gifts and he’s completely fed up with her behavior. She is completely out of control and holding her accountable for anything has become impossible. She refuses to do homework or chores and screams and yells terrible things at him. He’s not going out of his way to do anything nice for her after the way she treats him.
