Thanks for letting me vent and for giving me a lot to consider. We decided to take the advice here and try the expensive gifted private school for a year and see how it goes.

We recently completed a neuropsych eval (more on that in another post) and the doctor noted my son's anxiety was worse and now he had mild depression. He feels the depression is strongly tied to school.

We have to "right the ship" so we are biting the $18k bullet and enrolling him. My husband and I will have to get new jobs, but so be it. We just wanted him in the best situation to help him with his emotional issues.

Even though this is a great expense, I feel like a huge weight is off of my shoulders. It's funny, I should be worried about paying for this but all I feel is relief. It is a school that understands 2e kids, or so they say. I really want to believe them. I guess we'll see.
