I'm working on it
I am working on it, she's still not very happy about being there, she is still complaining about riding the bus. Last weekend she refused to get in the car to meet the bus that brings them home and takes them back on homegoing weekends and almost made us late. And she forgot her jacket and cell phone that she uses to text me so she can talk to me, which isn't much because it's locked up in the office when she is there so she has to remember to ASK for her phone b4 it's too late. She cannot hear on the phone when I call her and it's just a fustration for her when I call. I have two sisters and my mom live closeby to the school's town, so I called my sister that was the closest to get her a jacket there to use for the week. She asked if she would like to stay with her for awhile, and I told her she could ask her but I had doubted she say yes because she has only been to my other sister's house twice since school started and she's very close to her cousin that lives there. She actually told my other sister yes, and so I was like wow, ok cool! So I contacted the school, called them up told them she wants to go to my sisters house and she'll pick her up after school. You would not believe the drama that unfolded after that. I spent all day emailing them, because they had just emailed me back, because they wanted to talk to her to see what was going on. Which kinda pissed me off because it made me feel like they were trying to control her. They emailed me back and said she said she wanted to stay there this week and would go to her Aunt's NEXT week.! This is just 2 hours after my sister talked to my daughter! I really just don't know what to think about all that. They were going on that she was adjusting well to life on the campus and blah blah blah, and I was like you guys really don't know my daughter at all. She feels she has no CHOICE in the matter, I can read her well because she acts very much the way I did when I was a kid only I was literally all alone and seriously had no CHOICE. When I left her at the school after she wanted to stay home, she just looked defeated which borke my heart.
She's having fun staying with my sister for now though. I will talk to her this weekend and see how she REALLY likes it and I'm still waiting to hear from the school people that will arrange everything here. If I don't hear anything by tomorrow I will just go up to the building and talk to them face to face.
Thanks for all the replies. Sorry I haven't checked back more.
Will keep you posted.
