GM Complaining, bitching and getting angry about my Ds academics got me here. Yes, I was not involved in her school. I thought exw had it covered. She works from home. I commuted 2 hrs each day each way. That was the deal. We moved to where we were so we could pay the house off and exw could follow her dreams and care for D. I didn't know my D was not attending school. I didn't know the school was concerned about her. I didn't know exw had meetings and discussions about the school concerns. I didn't know exw was given a plan, I didn't know she wasn't going to school or failing most classes. I was not told if my Ds difficulties until June of 2011. Two weeks after school was over. I didn't know exw was brought to truancy court. I knew none of this until after the divorce. I screwed up. I trusted her mother to do the right thing. I was wrong some mothers don't care. My D is doing the 9th grade a 3rd time. She has missed 35 days this year. She has missed more days than allowed. I tried to get her classified but she's way to bright. Psychiatrist said she's good. I had her accepted to an alternative school with modified hours. The problem, they can't teach her of she doesn't go. Her mother thinks it's ok. Not sure why since she is very educated herself.
The day I found out that D was failing many classes and not going to school I threatened exw to burie her head into the wall.
Here I am wondering what else I could have done.
