[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 680224, member: 1631"] I'm sorry things are so rough. Is he compliant with his medications? It's so hard to see our kids this way because they are so different than they were when they were younger. While I never had to deal with suicide attempts my daughter became a stranger during her teen years. She was depressed and dealing with anxiety. She was angry at us all of the time. She basically retreated to her room most of the time. It was painful to watch. It hasn't been an easy road but she is on medications and seeing a therapist and psychiatrist on her own accord. She is in college and wants to be a therapist. She still deals with anxiety and depression but now reaches out to us instead of shutting us out. There were many times (countless really) when I wanted to cry-she was so hurtful. Most of the time though I was able to wear my rhino skin and not let her see that she could hurt me. Coming here really helped. I learned not to let her have the power. Trust me it wasn't easy. Sometimes I would cry later in my room. I'm glad you found us-stick around-you will receive much support. (On a side note-you may want to change your username to something other than your real name.) Welcome! Glad you found us! [/QUOTE]
