[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 2838935, member: 10177"] Definitely be sure about the depression and the possibility of drugs/alcohol. With my daughter depression is definitely a part of it, as well as the very real teenage hormone changes, but I was asuming you were like me, aware of "other" issues but realizing that they are no excuse at least in the sense that "life" has to be dealt with despite any other difficulties, such as depression. So, like in the case of my daughter, she has "depression" and Aspergers to deal with. So she is being helped with those issues, but we also have to help her learn to deal with life despite these problems, because the real world doesn't care what "handicaps" she has, she has to know how to cope with everything and she won't learn if we don't force her too. So we force her too, now, while she has us around to help her learn to do it. If we ignore it and let her go on with her life she may very well end up suiciding because life will overwhelm her. So if you have to be the bad guy, do it now where you can pay close attention and let your child know every day that everyone around them loves them. That way they will hopefully handle the "real world" and not be a risk for suicide or other self-destruction such as drugs or alcohol. Things they will do when they aren't with you, under conditions where you won't see what is going on until it is too late. The time to be the parent is when they are living under your roof, no matter how much the "bad guy" you have to be. [/QUOTE]
