DS is not doing well in school, rather suddenly and almost every way there is not to do well. Second year of middle school. Been mostly good to now, only little bumps that we got past.

But now we're here: suspensions for hitting, bullying reported, lying, failing classes, hiding report cards, depression, poor social interaction, refusing to eat, refusing to participate in extracurriculars, skipping afterschool.

We have health and mental health care lined up, but anybody been in this situation and want to give me a little BTDT peace of mind that we'll get through this? That he'll get through it? How'd you do it?
