[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 234165, member: 805"] Geeze....I am never ceased to be amazed at the number of ex's who put their frustration, anger, dissappointment, self-centeredness, etc., above the needs of their children. Geeze. Would it do any good to take the bonehead (meet the bonehead) to a coffee shop, or some other public place, and have a talk? Point out that if his daughter had a horrible rash, or her blood suger was off, etc., would he deny her being tested to find out what was wrong? This testing is going to help his daughter's quality of life. Why is he fighting against his daughter? You know, it's not unusual for a teen your daughter's age to be depressed, to sleep a lot, and to be angry. Some of that is typical teen angst stuff. However, when it interferes with her ability to live her life, is affecting her grades, is affecting her social relationships, and is deteriorating her family relationships, it's something to really get serious about. Depression manifests itself very differently in youngers and teens. Many kids display the outward signs of depression with anger. You are doing all the right things - I'm sorry ex is being such a bonehead - he's not the only ex around here acting like the back end of a donkey. Hopefully you can find away to show him the "light" so that your daughter can get the optimal treatment. Sharon [/QUOTE]
