[QUOTE="PiscesMom, post: 705400, member: 19889"] Is she attending school every day pretty much? What does the school say about her progress? Sometimes just getting up and going to school is all one can do, and that maybe is enough. I would bet her program does not assign homework for that reason; it produces anxiety. I know how deeply frustrating it is to have a depressed child. My oldest (not my difficult child) had major depression/anxiety in high school. I mean major and very serious. She chose not to die so she wouldn't hurt me. :( She spent months in her room, truant, and finally started attending a day treatment school. She had a very good therapist there who really helped her. She did come out of major depression, on her terms with no medications. Does your daughter have an assigned therapist there? Does she like him/her? That can make a lot of difference. Have you talked to the school for guidance on your home life? Do you get family therapy thru her program? This is probably the best place to bring your concerns. Do you have faith in the program? It sounds like you don't? Maybe that is something to look at? You say she is manipulative. But all of us manipulate others. What is she doing that upsets you, exactly? Get guidance and tread with care. I know it is hard to deal with, but a lot of our well meaning comments and suggestions can feel like attacks, and may push her further into her shell. Try not to take things personally. Of course she is thin skinned! Hugs! [/QUOTE]
