[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 628485, member: 1514"] Your story is one that just seems to hit me in the heart. I can commiserate with the parents of difficult child's who are violent or verbally abusive, who use drugs, who are just pains in the rears. I understand those kids. Your daughter simply makes my heart ache. I could be so very wrong but I dont think she wants to be this way. Something is holding her back but you dont know what it is. It could be so many things. I have bipolar and when I get depressed I get really depressed. I couldnt care less if I got out of bed, if I showered, if I washed clothes, if I did just about anything. There have been times I have done nothing for weeks on end. Eventually it does turn around for me though. I take it this is your only child. I also take it that you can afford to help her out somewhat. You need to do what you feel best. I think its great that she has started going to see a therapist. What a wonderful start. If she gets a job that will be a huge step forward. I hope it is something that she will love doing. If she doesnt get the job try to find something that she really loves and help her find a way to volunteer doing that. It will make her feel wanted and good about herself. That is so important. Honestly if I didnt have this website to work on I dont know where I would be. I dont feel important anywhere else. There is nothing wrong with you helping her with laundry or paperwork. Do you think she would go to your house with you while you do all that? Maybe you could make it something of a fun time which would get her out of the house. Now...on a promotional note: To all those who have the overwhelming need and urge to send their wayward difficult child's tablets, I will send you my address. I promise I wont lose them, pawn them or sell them to the local drug dealer! J/K [/QUOTE]
