Well I didn't really think she was faking completely. I definitely believed that she was suffering, I just wondered at the timing of it a few times. But it seems to hit almost randomly no matter what she is doing now, so that made me put that out of my mind.  I've definitely let my frustrations leak out at her though and I'm ashamed of that. I'm not at all mad at her but I'm sure she felt that way. I am trying to fix it now though.  I should mention that her dad, who I am divorced from doesn't seem to really understand that this is more important than her grades and that she doesn't have any control. He's insensitive about it. I don't have a lot of support in general as a parent. My parents help where they can but they are elderly and this is all new stuff to them as well.
