[QUOTE="Seagal, post: 363167"] I am new here so I'm hoping I'm posting this to the right forum. I have a 17 yo daughter heading for 12th grade - ADHD, Mood Disorder-depression, anxiety, ODD, Learning Disability (LD)'s - who is doing everything to push me, her mom, away. But at the same time she still needs me a lot. In most cases she won't listen to me, won't do as I ask her to do, won't listen to reality and basically thinks I'm the cause of every problem she has. Then on the other hand, she gets mad if I'm not home when she gets home from school, if she has to go somewhere new, she needs me to go with her and so on. We're doing the college thing now and though she says she wants to go away as far as she can, a place I can't just jump in the car and see her (she's eying Hawaii now and we live on the east coast) because she knows she won't get homesick or need us. I tell her what's most important is fit and she says distance. Can't reason with her. Signed her up for 2 programs gthis summer kind of on the academic side and now she's mad she won't have time to do nothing (she spends a lot of time during the school year just watching TV and not doing anything). I could go on and on, but it's way too much. I just want to know how I can get her to listen to reason and reality. Then I'm not saying she'll get homesick, but there is a great possibility. Just wondering if anyone has been there done that because I'm at wits end. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
