and that is just the way it is. There are so many things in this country that are more important. They are in a business like most people are, a business. Some one will profit from the drugs coming on the market. That is my post. What do you not understand about my saying someone will profit? Let me know and maybe I can walk you through it.

I really don't think it matters
who is correct and who isn't correct here. What matters is that he believes he is correct and no one is going to change his mind. Sounds to me like she might as well just move on and not look back. Even if he would be tempted to start again with her, this guilt and doubt of what is right and wrong would always been in the back of his mind and that alone would make their relationship doomed for failure. If this is what he truly believes, whether he is right or not, there is no point in pursuing a relationship with him. She will only get hurt again. After being with an abusive husband, she needs a healthy relationship. Not one filled with doubt and guilt. Regardless of her strong feelings, she needs to cut her losses and move on for the sake of her sanity and health. JMO though!
not just in family matters - s/m
In life matters, most times the only one a person can count on is themself.......
Not just in family matters......
taking matters into your own hands
This is a social problem that does not look like it's going to change any time soon. I had a similar experience when my daughter was in the 4th grade. She's in college now... not promising huh?
Anyhow, I ended up moving 150 miles to a good school district in an affordable neighborhood. Sounds like an oxymoron, but I researched and did what I had to do.
I moved again when I realized the high school she was districted for had a very bad record, not to mention it was almost 2 times overpopulated.
I know this is not an option for most people, but since it was just the 2 of us and I worked for a national, it was the only thing to do.
Both moves were of huge benefit to her intellectualy and emotionally.
If I were you, I would strongly consider home-schooling or moving. Most kids are taught to read in preschool or kindergarten, so I'm assuming your school district must be extremely lacking if they didn't address her reading problem then.
I would also suggest you try to make your voice heard by writing your congressman. This is a political issue that seems to be just danced around at the expense of our children and the future of our country.
But if nothing else, PLEASE spend at least an hour a day on her reading. Take her to the library or book store and let her pick out books she likes so the process won't be such a chore for either of you. Try to make it fun and encourage her.
Sorry for going on so long, but really, the best thing you can do is just do it yourself asap. You can't wait for the government/school system to change.
yes, i do live in Tx for your info not that that matters. sm
My mom always taught me manners that if you didn't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. what has happened to the world these days? it is so full of immature, smarty pants. i can't comprehend why people can't just be knowledgeable and respectful if you have something to add to a post. why waste your time and everyone elses by just being rude and hateful? it is just totally uncalled for and immature. oh well, maybe everyone was just having a bad day and needed something to lighten their stress. go get those chips off your shoulders and have a nice day today.
Well you are really not helping matters or having people side with you
when you keep bragging about how wonderful your kids are and family your family is, lol.. and assuming everyone else's is all screwed up. You know what they say.....usually one who accuses is the one with the problems. People who truly have a wonderful family life and great kids do not usually have a need to keep reaffirming and reassuring everyone of that fact ; )
I think maybe the boy sucked out some of your sanity...
