One foot in front of the other....

Another thing to add. A lot of time when a child is under stress like this, they tend to act out, grades drop, behavior changes, etc. Teachers are very sympathetic when they know what is going on, but if they don't know, lots of time they will just think the child is being lazy and disrespectufl. Let the teacher know that you and wife are separated and it has been tough on your daughter. You don't have to tell her all of the details. Just let her know what is going on and to please keep you informed if there is a problem.
