[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 278786, member: 1991"] THink about it all in perspective her her life as a whole. Yes, we need the academic stuff to give us a head start in life career-wise. But our emotional development and our future happiness in relationships is in thte crucible in our teens. What she is gonig through now is a distraction from her studies, but in its own way is just as vital to the woman she will be for the rest of her life, way beyond her formal education years. She has a lifetime to continue (or not) formal studies. The difficult children in our lives do tend to need a bit longer to complete their formal education. If tey can get some emotional and social maturity along the way, that is great. That usually takes time too. What I'm saying - this is also valid. It just doesn't usually come with a diploma.
