School called today

So they called me today asking if I wanted them to set up counseling for my daughter.

I said wait I'm confused. She's already in counseling.

No this would be difficult. This would be grief counseling.

I was kinda of shocked.

Well we have not had a death in the family

So wait I'm sorry her mother didn't pass away. That's what she's been telling everyone.

No she just moved to Florida.

I asked them not to say anything to her and I'd talk to her about it tonight.

I'm at a loss. I know she's hurting. But I really don't know what to say to her

Well her answer was simple and heartbreaking.

She said it was easier to tell her classmates and teachers that her mother died then saying she that she left us and moved to another state and is starting a new family.
Saying her mother died ended the questions but saying she left lead to many questions that made her uncomfortable and upset because she doesn't know why she left

@Cigarguy101 I figured it would be something like that. I get it, I could see kid me having done the same. Poor sweet kid.
