School struggles.

Dear Lailah,
You've entered back into public school this year and you're having a hard time. I am working on getting a referral for you to get a mental health evaluation so that I can hopefully help you with school. You've been getting punished for struggling even though it's not your fault. I trust that if you COULD do better, you'd obviously try your best to do better, so I know that you're having a hard time... I hope that my efforts can help you.
I will also be getting you a tutor to help with math and maybe reading as well.. we will see what I can afford.
You also see a therapist - Kathryn, once a week, at the Providence Center. You seem to like her but you haven't yet really opened up to her yet so I'm not sure how it's going yet... you've only had like 2 appointments with her though, so I will give you both time to see if this is a good fit and beneficial for you.
I want you to know that I love you very much and that this is a priority for me since you are important to me. I want you to understand when you're older why I made the choices I did and why I felt I had to, so maybe you can understand your childhood better than I ever could with my own. Maybe it could benefit you in some way.
Well, I'm doing my best and I want you to know that.
<3 love mommy.
