Nobody prepares you for what school refusal actually does to a family.
Not the school.
Not the therapist.
Not the well-meaning people in your life who have absolutely no idea what’s happening inside your house.
You find out alone.
In real time.
While trying to hold everything together.
I spent years figuring out what nobody told me at the start. Then I wrote it all down.
It’s a combination of my university mental health training and the reality of living school refusal. For years.
My daughter missed 100 days of school.
She also got into her first choice university.
