Population about 6000. If she lived with me, she would be tossed into the middle of the Independence School system. Great schools, but really, REALLY BIG! She would just get lost. We have already kicked around the idea of her living back in Richmond with her best friend, if it comes to that.<BR/><BR/>faith - thanks for the encouraging words. If it happens, I hope GTO turns out good like you and not all fucked up to hell and back like your twin. I'M KEEDING! I KEED!<BR/><BR/>sader - so true! Their comes a point in life where the ONLY thing that all of your fucked up relationships, missed opportunities and bad choices have in common is YOU.Xavier Onassishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345787343828318445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-31335662696108056562008-06-05T16:02:00.000-05:002008-06-05T16:02:00.000-05:00The Twin and I moved to a new high school our fres...The Twin and I moved to a new high school our freshman year. We were removed from a school system where we were popular, had many friends, and loved being in because my mom was worried we would turn out like our older brother. I think...<BR/><BR/>Anyway, Twin wound up dropping out of high school our sophomore year, and going on independent study. I stuck it out until the last half of my senior year, then I did the same. <BR/><BR/>I turned out ok. Twin wound up being pretty fucked up by the time we were 16, but I really think that had a lot to do with her level of spoilage over mine, to be honest.<BR/><BR/>I made friends easily; she did not. I liked school and my attendance record was important to me. Not so much for her. <BR/><BR/>What we did when we moved to the new school our sophomore year (the first one we went to our freshman year was a Catholic school, and it didn't really work out for us, so we moved on to public school the year after) was got involved in activities prior to the year starting. We joined the flag team, but GTO could do something less geeky, should it be the case that it's as geeky as our flag team was at our school. (The dance team was much cooler, and still performed at halftime shows for football, and competed in competitions and stuff...) <BR/><BR/>It helped us make friends before the school year started. And then the year after that (I was done after one year of that shit!) I got involved in the wrestling team. I took stats. It was fun.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's my suggestion, if she winds up staying with you. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure everything will work out fine. It's all in the way you handle it as her parent, really. If you think it's a bad situation, chances are she'll pick up that vibe, and carry it with her. Be strong, man! This could turn out to be a good thing...Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586875268181033533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21353439.post-48606248462632601422008-06-05T15:51:00.000-05:002008-06-05T15:51:00.000-05:00Your daughter is very lucky to have you.

Missouri is a "no fault" divorce state. That means virtually every divorce is due to "irreconcilable differences". No one is to blame. These things just happen.
