She has ADHD as well but has not taken medications for that in a while due to wt concerns. Only small dose of anti anxiety medications. I’m not trying to keep her at home. I want her to be independent and move on with her life. I just feel she found some people who she has something in common with and thinks...

Well she has not met these people other than online and I have never met them. They are all from different states. My concern is she is of small Stature. Maybe weighs 95 pounds wet. Has no way to defend herself against people. Also just because you turn 18 or 21 does not in my mind make you and...

Well she earned 1000 but over like 4 months.

It has been a long time since I posted here. Came to get opinions and probably just to get my emotions out. My daughter is 21. Finished high school and enrolled her at a community college. She took classes in and off. Always needed prodding or reminding to get work done. She’s never had a real...

So been very busy at work and really haven’t had time to do a lot of reading responses. No major changes yet in her and don’t expect instant changes. I go about my day. Still going to counseling.

I don’t get emba from her at all. If anything she’s more self cons of her looks and stuff. Had another session today. She vented. She was asked what she would do in the coming weeks amd she said she may register for winter session and take one class. She is still embarrassed about her hair and...

Trying. She has a hamper in her room for a while. I guess hard for me not to be a parent.

So had a therapy session today with just me and my wife. She got to express her frustration about everything. We discussed possibly sending my daughter to Las Vegas where her grandmother and aunt live for a couple of weeks but my mom is 82 and might not be able to handle her. After the session...

It’s been just difficult dealing with her. She doesent talk a lot unless asking for food. Every time try to talk she just gets angry. I’ve asked her to start setting some goals to achieve. She just doesent want to talk about anything. Drives my wife crazy. She won’t help around house with her...

Very interesting articles. Have not read all of them been busy at work. She doesn’t go out because of the hair incident. Now she uses the computer as her social life. My wife and I will be seeing therapist next week then my daughter. It’s difficult because of my schedule. Friday she has a...

We live in a condo which we’ve kind of out grown but have not looked around at bigger place. Just happens her room is downstairs near living room. Yes I would not have a problem having help out at her old school. She could do computers and art as two best classes and had helped out with both...

The therapy session went ok I guess. She stayed in for full hour. The therapist suggested putting a lock on bathroom door so she could have a “safe place” to go if gets in argument with mom. I took them off door because she would lock herself in when younger or when mad. I think my daughter...

So just a quick update she officially dropped out. Part of me wanted her to stay another part did t care at this point. So I supported her decision and reiterated it was her decision. I also asked her to come up with 3 things she would do to take the place of not going like getting a tutor for...

Good idea as well. Still didn’t know if she was going to class then decided no because of what happened to her hair which is her way out now. To be honest less stress on me if she doesent go I can go to work amd not worry about if she will go the next day. The wife won’t be happy but she caused...

I thought exploring the friend issue would help too. She’s been to three different therapist. She’s like a clam. But she didn’t start missing school or not wanting to go until around October sophomore year where she could of run into this person. They were good friends before all this and had...

No Ive always said she less mature than her age but I e looked at her evaluations again from the school to psychiatrists to a neuropsychologist. These were all done at different times in her life. The one common word I see is anxiety. At one time oppositional. I do know she is stubborn. I guess...

Well that’s great advice elsi. I was thinking of just having her do the art class at night but I will try your verbage. Sometime I just lecture and yes I want her to go to college amd she talked about it as well. Originally she wanted to go to Pratt. Lofty goals. We chose community college...

Well I didn’t ask her. She was mad cutting up my wife’s stuff. That’s the reason. Today took her to have hair looked girl was great and gave her options. Cut it a little shorter or use clip on extensions. Both were no answers. I left it at that for now. Later took her to dentist appointment. She...

Yes mom goes to a psychiatrist already and is on ADHD medications. Sometimes all this frustration of our daughter just not listening causes her to explode. So today was peaceful. My daughter was on my desktop happy as a clam playing her league of legends game. That’s what makes her happy and talking to...

I just want to say thanks for all the input and support. After today I will need a lot more support. So my daughter got home late from her art class yesterday. She chose this class runs from 6-10. Could of had a Friday from 1-5 but wanted Friday off. She had class today in morning. I was at work...
