[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So... my 19 yr old DD ended up failing her 1st semester of college. I am not supposed to know ( she told her older sister, who helped her appeal- and won) I am so proud she took that step to seek out help and handle things; she is now re-registered. My concern is, I want to support her (she did not let me the 1st semester) but i also feel that if we are paying tuition, she should have some mandates to follow... like, attending therapy sessions. She went off all her meds (her choice); therapy may prove more beneficial. I am also requesting to have access to her online portal or whatever. I never knew a single grade she got in the fall. I never knew a single assignment. I cannot support if i do not know. My questions are... does this sound reasonable? or am I better off letting her handle things alone, very possibly failing again? She has significant anxiety and depression with the ADHD. To make things even more of a challenge, her dad pays no attention to her challenges, and just criticizes her all the time; I worry horribly about it, but wonder if living outside of the family home would be better if financialy feasible. One last issue...I am signficantly medically involved, including a very serious condition that requires me to stay stress free and BP LOW. So, trying to help my precious daughter for all this time....ALONE, has taken its toll, and is getting even harder now! SOOOO... any ideas, suggestions, etc are welcomed!  [/quote]

OP She attended ODU, but will attend NOVA now.   She will transfer to another school when she is ready.  She will take take her medication every day she has classes.   [/quote]
