[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 667973, member: 18516"] That is such a tough age. They really think they know what's best for themselves and just want to be free from the parents. My heart goes out to you. I highly suggest attending Al-Anon meetings. One thing I have learned is if they really want to leave they will, it doesn't matter their age or what we as parents want. The fact that she is "asking / begging" does show that somewhere within her she wants your approval and that is a good thing. If it were me I would just keep trying to get her to see a therapist. Reinforce to her that she is loved. It's a difficult road that you are on and I am so sorry for what you are going through but you will get through this. ((HUGS)) to you.............. :staystrong::notalone: [/QUOTE]
