Yippee!
I'm glad the judge is so understanding, and that he tried to help XH understand. It's hard to tell from a person's outsides that changes are going on on the inside, so I'll say a prayer that this made more of an impression on XH than he let on.
Love and More Love,

That's wonderful news. I know how stressful it is to have anything to do with the courts. What a relief for you. Hopefully an eyeopener for XH, too.

Congratulations! I can�t imagine having to advocate with educators plus an X and a judge! Well done.

The Judge is on my side and she is in a great fit academically. That only leaves me stubborn X.
I told him (my X) yesterday how sad it was that other parents of HG children had to fight with the schools and in my case I had to fight HIM to make sure OUR dd's needs were met. I think he looked a bit embarrassed.
Last night he sent me an e-mail asking me for more information on the Davidson Institute and told me he wants to be more involved in dd's academics. Maybe the hearing really helped!

FWIW, my parents thing DYS is a scam to make me feel good, and take all of our money, ((sigh)). Really? And the whole "free" thing didn't change that for them? How about the "giving money to people who need it" part of it? <shaking head> I guess it could be a conspiracy on the part of psychologists to get us all to test our kids. A sort of money-making venture for them... LOL! Anyway, sorry, Dottie!

Wonderful news! I'm so glad you have the support of the legal system behind you and maybe glimmers that your X may be starting to get it  Maybe picking her up from the school and hearing her chatter on the way home will help him to see that she has the social skills and a great educational fit.

((tear in corner of eye)) I sure hope so. Remember that it's a process, and it took all (ok maybe just most) of us years to shed the gifted denial.

Hooray! That's so great. It just takes some of us a little longer to get on board! I'm sure there are people who think I must chain my girls to a chair and beat them over the head with textbooks all day!
