You are the only voice your son has. His father certainly isn't going to look out for his son's best interests.
I couldn't agree more. Thank you for that response. I feel quite upset with the fact that the courts do not recognize the emotional state of the child. Well they do but it takes lots to
prove it.
I wonder to what extend he should be faltering in school and when that means to take action. Anytime a child goes through a signifigant change in their lives it will cause them to backslide somewhat. As to how much they backslide and for how long determines how much risk they are at I think.
I am not happy that the teacher has not let me know until very recently about his issues. She let me know last week she has seen a change in behavior, but that is to be expected. I saw with my own eyes today the change when he is at school. I am not happy the teacher has not let me know the extent of the change until today when I came to her with it.
