“The way you present this question is interesting: preserving resources for “kids like mine” versus mental health funding.”
I think my sibling feels that way because my kids’ needs were met via AP classes and extra curricular activities while my nieces mental health needs were not met at school. In my siblings mind my kids took funding from hers. I love the idea of schools being a first line of defence because they truly are the only interaction or opportunity social services might be involved for some families. But so far the boundaries and funding aren’t clearly defined here. It’s maybe wearing on me as we are seeing each other more often during the Thanksgiving - Christmas holidays and things are implied and I don’t want to raise the tension. However I am sort of tired of being made to feel bad.
