I have been divorced for over a year and a half now and I have custody of my daughter, my ex lives in Chicago. I was divorced in Jan and my daughter finished that year in school with all As & Bs. The following year, however, she struggled and started failing courses. Recognizing there was a problem I started her in therapy and while this has helped she is still struggling in school this year. On top of this she is about 20lbs under weight and has a lot of problems with her periods including pain that results in her missing more school. I have been taking her to Drs and generally she is healthy and eats well. Her mother was also petite and had problems with her periods.

My problem is that she continues to fall behind and is digging a hole she cannot get out of in school. She believes she can catch up but does not put in the effort required to do so. I have tried to be more forceful with her but this has not had any Affect, I have tried to just be supportive and this also has not had much affect. I know that other's have bigger problems with their kids but I feel like I am watching her fall off the train.

Anyone have similar issues any advice? My nature is to try and fix things but I cannot fix this and the stress is wearing me down.

Thx
