I spoke to her two months ago regarding her attendance. I said if u miss 5 more days you will not move on to the next grade. I also asked her if she had thought if she preferred to work at Burger King over McDonald's. She didn't like that and her attendance improved. But she has missed 35 days already. She really doesn't discuss her plans and when I ask she just says "ahh". Sometimes I think her mother wants to keep her home for ever.
I have tried to teach her to drive. She is not interested. Strange for a teenager. Kat she goes to the alternative school and there there are kids of all ages with similar problems.

I think exw wants her home. She gives her everything she wants. It was strange to me that exw fought me about my Ds education and future. Today things are not so strange. I have learned through this how selfish people can be. All I can do is be here for her and continue to guide her the best I know how.
