Need to vent. My daughter had been at the same gym for 9 years, team track for 6. She had a conflict with one of her teammates (bullying) that I notified her coach about, please keep an eye out for this type of behavior. Her coach forwarded my email to the other girls parent with comments about my daughter indicating that she did not believe the incident happened (other girls confirmed). I was very upset at what I view as a violation of privacy. I do not believe a private email between a parent and coach should be shared with anybody. I angrily confronted her about this. She asked us to stay which my daughter wanted and I went along with it. Big mistake, about two weeks later the coach requested a meeting and told me there is no place at the gym for my daughter anymore. My daughter is beside herself. Her schoolwork is suffering, she calls herself a loser, won't even consider going to another gym (not that any will call me back!). We are going to find a therapist for her, I feel so awful for how this all played out and I feel that I really failed to protect her. I know that being in that gym would have been worse, but how do I make lemonade out of these lemons?
