[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It does not make sense. She's been under extreme pressure. She needs a change but not a full stop.[/quote] This is what I'm struggling with. I want to be supportive, but I am trying to think through how to respond to someone who has a clear plan in their head and has taken steps toward finishing it. The year abroad idea is a good one. DD did mention that she wanted to work, save, and travel during the proposed "year off." I reached out to guidance at school and they weren't terribly helpful. Hence the panicked posting here. I need ideas and space to think this through.[/quote] Being supportive here means facing the actual problem: your daughter is very stressed by TJ. You're the parent, so you need to take some leadership to address the actual problem, rather than letting your daughter make a decision that may negatively impact her future. [/quote]
