Hey @the_ant65, thanks so much for answering the questions and sharing with us! It sounds like you have a teen who's having some struggles getting to school, which is a concern for many parents. My daughter is now educated via distance ed due to the issues we had getting to school. Good on you for being proud of your teen for trying. It can be a massive move for them to get there, so understanding the effort they're making is huge for them. 

It's awesome you have some ways to relax. TV, meditiation, walking Izzy, stars and a cuppa - I love it! All I'm missing is an Izzy!

[the_ant65]

Thank for this, for your support and summing up the things that relaxes me.
It also good that I do not so alone with these issues. :-)

You're more than welcome @the_ant65! 

Knowing we're not alone in the issues we face as parents is so reassuring, and something I find so great about the forum. 

Feel free to start a new topic here and gain some tips and support from the community
