Now, my dad died 10 days before my Junior year. And I ended up graduating from high school with a 1.2 GPA.

Yesterday, I also talked with my best friend, who I met in high school. We talked about my oldest, as well as my experience. My high school did nothing to help me. Only one teacher acknowledged my dad died. The friend who lost his mother recently confirmed that one administrator brought him in to her office to express condolences. That was it. Two kids with dead parents, and the school offered minimal support.

My mom did nothing to help. She was grieving, and I understand.

I get what she's saying about pep band, but I can't help but think she feels my efforts to figure what is going on and solve it is somehow a criticism of her.

My mother needs to get over herself.

In other news, our IEP meeting on Tuesday was fantastic. If the school follows through, my youngest will be OK.

They really screwed up two weeks ago. And they seem to have a new game plan.
