@LilMissKushy: yes and no. He has school, allegedly as he would if he were in a brick and mortar school, yet it is nothing like as if he were attending in person. he has 2 teachers, facilitators really. and he has a learning management system he logs into which has his classes aka some activities, but mostly reading, responding, and reviewing. Not a lot of education going on. I have taken it upon myself, to essentially supplement his education. I look forward to his future and upcoming assignments. I then scour the internet for free resources to help teach him the information he needs to know. I also make sure that the teaching method is more akin to his learning style. that is why before school started I made a post for those who are parents on here and I was going to share resources but nobody responded. I spend probably 10 hrs a week looking for various educational materials which are in line with state expectations and standards as well as my own standards.

@Totalanimefan: it gives me hope when I hear you talking about how much of a blessing your move was. my partner and I are looking to move and I am nervous but excited.

@Totalanimefan: thank you so much for the advice. Currently my biggest concern is finding something that's appropriate for me and my son and my partner. But deep down with my past I need to make sure that should things not work out with me and my partner I'm still okay with me and my son and the new place.

@Totalanimefan: my son is 13. He is about to be 14 in a few days. We have been having a lot of the sex talks and talks on appropriate digital presence. Covid has really squashed his growth. He is someone who relies heavily on interaction and friends. His age group is very social anyways but my kiddo takes it up a notch. He, um, likes to be extra lol But I try and support his ventures. He wants to be a streamer when he grows up. Never knew in my lifetime that that would be a career goal. Here I am getting my Ph.D. and looking at academia. He wants a camera and a mic and to do whatever it is he wants to do :)
