[QUOTE="slsh, post: 530827, member: 8"] Thanks all. I know there's a decent dose of depression playing into this which is why I really think she needs some therapy, but good gravy she's a stubborn kid. I personally think therapy is going to do more for her long term than medications, especially because she's got a boatload of baggage about our family life (not totally unjustified), but I guess I have to go with- what she's willing to do. I'm pretty sure she'd refuse depo or BC - she's got some really rigid thinking about some things and getting her to an OB/GYN is going to be more than I could manage. Heck, just talking to her about routine female healthcare sends her into an absolute tizzy. She's 14 so I know we've got several more years of this garbage. by the way, I have called my own mother *several* times in the last year to thank her for not killing me at this age. :rofl: I was pretty much easy child-ish behaviorally (that my parents knew about anyway) but I know I had a mouth and attitude to spare. H&R - believe it or not, I just finished up about 7 months of my own therapy, LOL. :winking: I am in a better space generally than I've been in quite a while, which is perhaps why her barbs are so hurtful. Figures. If I were my usual depressed self, I just wouldn't care. Sometimes you just can't win. [/QUOTE]
