12 yo non-binary/trans/figuring it out still but born female Dad and I separated when kiddo was 1.5 Dad remarried long time friend that is a Christian lady who instills anxiety about end times/ both of them are Q-anon conspiracy theorists Dad and step-mom kicked kiddo out when they were 11, about 10 months ago now, and see kid at their convenience Kid has been in therapy on and off since age 5 (started due to suspected single occurrence of molestation by paternal grandfather's friend visiting, continued due to behavioral issues that turned out to probably be due to autism) About 18 months ago, kiddo was diagnosed with Level 1 Autism, ADHD, PTSD, and depression/ anxiety stemming from the autism. Kid refuses medications due to dad and step-mom's conspiracy theories. Kid is with a good therapist, since about April or May.

I've become a permissive parent in reaction to all of the chaos over the last year and a half. I've overcompensated for dad's neglect, my child is spoiled.

My kid was at the same school from K-4th, pulled because COVID just wrecked the teachers and they were letting our kid fall through the cracks. Homeschooling didn't work between houses, kid loathed on line school, and was being suspended every other week from the two regular schools we tried in between all this. Kid is now at a school for those that don't do well in regular setting and we're off to a bad start... I need to figure out how to be a better mom. My kid is fucking brilliant, but that brain is going to go to waste without an education and I'm terrified.
