Damn, I'm really sorry to hear that.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 42 points 2 months ago

Thanks. It actually worked out for the best because she has a lot more self confidence and now that she's in online school she's getting the best grades of her life. We've had to go down to a single income so I can stay home with her and keep her on track, but it's been worth it to see what a change it's made.

It sounds like she's lucky to have you. We can all learn from trauma as long as you have the right people around you.

Thank you. I just wish we had taken this opportunity sooner.

It's great that you were able to give up your job to take care of your daughter, and that she's doing well now. But the fact that a bunch of asshole kids bullying her also had the knock-on effect of likely hurting your family's long-term finances is annoying to hear.

Obviously the horrible shit they put your poor daughter through is the most important thing here. But this shows there are often other negative ripple effects impacting the whole family. Not to mention that most families don't even have the option to give up an income source.

And all because some scummy kids decide it's funny to make someone else's life so miserable.

I agree completely... but at least we had the option! I was bullied nearly as much as her when I was a kid and there was no alternative.

Don't forget to properly socialize her with peers. I have friends who were formally homeschooled and it fucked them up socially for a while. Game clubs might help.

She has a teen meetup she goes to every week.

Same... having to live in Indy is already bad enough.
