[QUOTE="klmno, post: 225073, member: 3699"] I'm glad you feel better Bran! I think MB and others were trying to say something similar- in regards to your daughter needing her own personal wak up call in order to accept help. She sounds a lot like me at that age- no one understood why I liked hanging out on the "wrong side of the tracks". Another thing that actually helped me- when all the people I'd known were finally away from me and I got to do everything I wanted without fear of their yelling and belittling (I'm not suggesting you do that, but my family did) and trying to control my life, I did go wild for quite some time. But, I also got to a point that I realized they really couldn't control my life- it was mine to live how I saw fit- and then I started asking myself how [B][U]I[/U][/B] wanted to live my life. So, I did seek out help to overcome my bigger issues and get my life turned around, but in my case having such a controlling and dysfunctional family, it was so I could become who I wanted to be, not to get their approval. Maybe your daughter has some identity issues (it sounds like she does) and she needs that "freedom" to know that she can scr*w up her life if she wants- maybe this is what it will take for her to get to a point where she decides then, that she really doesn't want to blow all her chances.
