[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 655249, member: 1550"] Have you ever explored which type of mental illness your daughter has when she was younger and within your control; when you could have gotten her psychiatric help? You are acting as if she is bad when it sounds more like she is sick or else like there is real contention in the family. It's wonderful that you have so many capabilities, but it is wrong in my opinion to expect your children to have the same ones. We are all different. There is nothing you can do to do change or control an adult, your child or not. I suggest going on with your life. The time to help her is long past, and you can not tell her what to say or what not to say. I feel kind of sorry for her. I was also accused of lying about my family, and I wasn't. Your wife is not your daughter. Simply disagreeing with you is not her being crazy. You can not control what your relatives think nor should you care. People who know the real you will not believe the stories. Disciplining teens does not help mental illness. My youngest is still a teen,a nd I'm soft on discipline, yet she has never been in trouble in her life and is very honest. It's kind of the luck of the draw. Don't blame your wife. You were there too. in my opinion you are mistaking mental illness and/or drug abuse for bad genes by mom and lack of sicipline and that doesn't help anybody. At your kid's ages, there is little you can do but encourage them to get help and I strongly suggest YOU get help too, to learn to take care of yourself and to learn coping skills that will enable your life to be better. It can't be much fun not to be talking to any of your children. Being self-righteous because you are bright and thinking that the others are not as good as you is faulty thinking and will not gain you any happiness or friends. You need to learn how to accept people for what they are. Not saying nobody did anything wrong, just that you are not perfecft or special...we are all flawed, every one of us, and we have contributed to our children's behaviors.Maybe we were not fast enough to get them help or were too strict or too lenient and our particular child needed more...parents, including you, are not perfect. If you talk the way you spoke in your post to your youngest son, my guess is he will join the rest of your family and run for the hills. You need to do it differently with him. Calling his siblings nuts and incompetent will likely chase him from you. That's not how to do things. You need professional help. I wish you all the best of luck and hope and pray you can work things out. [/QUOTE]
