[QUOTE="newstart, post: 759633, member: 22416"] Hi Drew64, I understand how you feel. My daughter has bipolar, ADHD, anxiety, and other weird issues. We live in America and she wanted to go to college in Australia. It was concerning for me to let her go that far. I knew that no matter what I said or did she was going to go. At one point she said to me 'I want to get as far away from you as I can'. I wished her well and let her go, I had to depend completely on her guardian angels and God. When she got there she went to parties and did stupid things. After a while she started to call more often. First it was twice a week then everyday then twice a day. I had no idea why she would call someone twice a day long distance when she wanted to get away, far away from me. She called one day and told me she was ready to come home. I told her since she wanted to get so much distance between us I was hoping she would stay there and possibly go to grad school. I did not realize that her living with me caused me so much grief that when she left, I had the best year that I had in many years. I actually looked like a different person, my job was going better than ever and my husband and I felt younger than we had for years. I think with these mental disorders many times, some kids have ODD and if you fight them they will try to prove you wrong. I hope you sit back relax and tell her 'I hope this next step will be good for you'. [/QUOTE]
