[quote=Anonymous]Not a daughter, but a son.  It got far worse than what you are describing before it got better.  But it did get better.  He's now 23 and a total delight to be around, which until about two years ago was beyond my wildest dreams.  He's behind his age group in terms of completing his education and getting started adulting.  But, he's not sitting in my basement playing video games.  He is doing everything he can to make up for lost time in terms of school, work and gaining the skills needed to be a successful adult.

I know people throw the term anxiety around a lot and assume people are using it in the pedestrian sense since most are.  But those of us who have experienced having kids with real, debilitating, and all consuming anxiety have no idea how hard it is for them and also for us parents.  I am glad you have a parenting coach that you find helpful.  I've known others who went that route and also found it helpful.  And, like with my son, it took until a bit after HS before things leveled out.  [/quote]
