I work in the schools and some of the counselors are very good. But why are you putting this off for two more weeks? It's already been months since you were told to handle this.
Be sure to discuss your concerns regarding your D7 -- about her sister being in a different school. Their teachers should also know that you and W are separated -- they can keep an eye on the girls and let you know if they notice any behaviors that cause them concern.
So your 11 year old D is starting middle school? Please keep your eye on her - that can be an extrememly stressful transition.
Will you and W be taking them to open house, or meet the teacher together? If you can talk her into this, it's for the best.
