I am new to this, but I am out of friends who will listen. My daughter, the straight A 5th grade student, hates school. She manufactures illnesses. She hyperventilates when I drop her off and cries well into her second block of classes. She says "my stomach hurts." We have done medical tests, all negative. She has an appointment with a counselor tomorrow. I just feel like I have failed her completely. I am, for the most part a stay at home mom and I feel like she may have gotten a raw deal. She is hopefully going to get her coping skills tomorrow. Now I need to get mine. Does anyone else have this problem? No one seems to understand. Her teachers think she's great. She makes lots of friends...I just needed to get this off my chest to someone who wouldn't roll their eyes at me and sigh. Thanks
