Hey! I’m new here and really need some support and advice as I’m beyond knowing what to do to make this situation better!
The short story is that my daughter and I were at the Manchester arena last year at the Terrorist attack.
My daughter, now 13 had never been happy in high school but had been attending if reluctantly
Since the attack she’s been dealing with anxiety issues and as I’m a counsellor myself I’ve kept on top of providing support for her whilst obviously dealing with my own issues that it bought up for me.
It’s meant she’s missed around 10 weeks of school over the last year and it’s also led to a break down in all her friendships.
She’s now left feeling very alone and abandoned by everyone at school and refusing to go in as she can’t face them.
I am a single mother and I have to admit I feel like a complete failure not knowing how to fix this!!!
I fear for the impact this has on her future and feel like the big high school she goes to is not a place where she can thrive
Home school is not an option as I have to work, I can’t afford private school and I’m just totally overwhelmed and alone trying to navigate this mountain!
Anyone got some wise words of wisdom?!
