She's actually doing well, relatively speaking. I have to keep reminding myself that she's made a ton of progress from where she was six months ago. I'm just burnt out. Teaching her to drive meant sitting in the car with her for 1-2 hours every single day for almost 3 months. (And she's still a completely shit driver, but at least she hasn't had a wreck yet.) Completely-alone time is critical for my own mental health, and with her leaving for work just as the other kids get home from school I've been going slowly insane. Until her social skills improve she is, at her core, an annoying person. But when I have to tell her things like, "You can't use nothing but sound effects to answer the apartment manager's questions," she does take note. So, you know. Baby steps are still steps.
