[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 704016, member: 1550"] She is mentally ill. I don't feel it is appropriate to punish anyone for that. The only thing I'd do is tell her she has to keep seeing a therapist and maybe you and wife want to also get into therapy to understand depression better. It is not a choice and a suicide attempt is nothing to brush off. I would stop the old school ideas that thought depression is a choice and try to make sure she gets support so that she can heal and go on to be successful. I suggest you don't compare her to your other children. I was the family dummy and, trust me, it hurt and I felt like a failure. I also suffered from suicidal depression and got healthy by getting the right help. I would be gentle. You sure dont want a repeat of this. She isn't bad. She is ill. I'm so sorry for your family. You did not make her sick, but as parents of a minor, I feel it is best if you help her. [/QUOTE]
