[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 47071, member: 27"] Mikey, I just went through this recently with my easy child daughter. The only difference between my daughter and yours, from the sounds of it, is that mine totally distanced herself from my difficult child and his stoner friends. Honestly, even difficult child back in his drugging days, wouldn't allow his friends near his "little sister". My daughter is an over the top achiever, perfectionist, etc., etc., and started falling apart (with migraines and anxiety) about three months before school ended (she just finished her sophomore year of college). I literally pulled her out of school and brought her home for a week to see a therapist and psychiatrist before allowing her to go back to school. She was put on a low dose medication and goes to therapy. As DDD mentioned, our easy child's feel the brunt of a lot of the chaos going on in our homes as a result of our difficult child's. They can't help but be affected by it, even if we don't see signs of it on the outside. My daughter's anxiety surfaced while things are actually going very well with my son - so it was not a result of the chaos - but it surfaced all at once with very little warning just the same. My suggestion would also be to have your daughter see a therapist/psychiatrist. It certainly can't hurt. Deb [/QUOTE]
