[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 116308"] I don't think her parents are detaching - they did take her to the crisis center on more than one occasion - but rather trying the best they know how. There are no manuals on how to raise kids like this. As far as doing more, their child is 16. If she doesn't want to go to therapy and doesn't want to participate there isn't a whole lot they can do. It's the whole, leading a horse to water analogy. If she doesn't want to take medications, she doesn't have to. 14 is the age of consent for that in a lot of states. They tried barring her from your son, but they snuck around it - your son played a part in that. So maybe they feel like if they allow it then they can have some kind of control over what happens...at least be on top of what is going on. Your son is 19. He's an adult. If he chooses to continue in an unhealthy relationship that's on him, not on the 16 year old (minor) child who is obviously ill and not her parents. He's continued with it even when her parents forbade it. [/QUOTE]
