When custody battles and homeschooling collide

A 12-year-old’s health struggles just changed her entire family dynamic. After months of missed school and medical uncertainty, her stepmom—who’s also a teacher—pushed for homeschooling, hoping it would help her catch up. But her biological mom fought back, leading to a court case that ended with the girl now living mostly with her dad and stepmom, seeing her mom only two hours a week. The twist? The girl herself didn’t want to be homeschooled. This situation has everyone debating: When parents disagree, who should have the final say—and how much should a child’s wishes matter? #Relationships #ParentingDebate #CustodyChallenges
