D#1 needs a break from our home. It’s not bad, she’s been happy, healthy, and thriving. But it has been hectic and heavy with responsibilities to support me and D#2. She deserves to get away. But, we will definitely take a close look at in-state fall-back options. Homeschooling has been considered for D#2, but all who have worked with her or know her agree that would not be good for her. And I have to keep working to provide our healthcare coverage, because we need it or we’d go into greater debt, and finding the coverage we have for a part-time position is rare. I am grateful for my husband’s good income and my expensive but amazing insurance coverage, which have kept us afloat and allowed or girls some wonderful life experiences. I do regret that we were so blind to the ridiculous cost of education and how to navigate it, or better help guide our daughter through the maze. I feel like we’ve set her up for disappointment without knowing it. But we’ll march on. Thank you for your honest and sobering feedback. Better now than 2-3 months from now.
