[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I feel I've been very supportive and I do my best to watch my language and how I say things. I will definitely admit I don't have 100% batting average. I've definitely snapped a lot early on but I'm trying really hard to be accepting of her decisions and dreams (I don't use "adulting" with her, just my personal language online). But it is a good relminder to check myself more frequently when she's especially bad and defensive. As for the meds, you're preaching to the choir. I cannot get her to get her meds checked out. I've mentioned the ADD at least three times, gotten others to mention it (people she trusts, not parents) and she's convinced it's depression and societal expectations. She dated someone over five years ago. It was long, she ended it, and the spiral started then. She's sworn off relationships all together since and lashes out violently if anyone suggests she tries again.[/quote]
