[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 764978, member: 3305"] Dad …thank you for sharing additional details about your daughter. WOW! She graduated high school and college! Not many of us here on our board can say that about our wayward children. This is a huge plus in my opinion because this gives her a win in her life. My son had a lot of failures in his life, not many wins. It sounds like your daughter has definitely experienced deep depression and may need an antidepressant to help her with her struggles. Of course she also must seek help for her alcoholism as well. Suicide is definitely a concern too. My son used to have suicidal thoughts too. Most of this stopped after he became a Christian. I also discussed with him the fact that most people who survive a suicide attempt regret the act immediately afterwords. My son did not graduate high school but did get his GED. He entered the Army a couple of weeks after he married his girlfriend who had become pregnant. Though his time in the Army only lasted about a year and a half due to substance abuse issues. He was discharged honorably though thank goodness. Yes I do think it’s important that you are prepared for the next crisis. You sound like a very loving dad. Your daughter has surely been blessed to having been raised by you. I hope you won’t be too hard on yourself. Love and prayers, LMS [/QUOTE]
