[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with questioning everything you thought you knew….

I was a pretty relaxed parent—encouraged independence, wasn’t trying to socially engineer anything, etc.  Now I’m pretty paranoid.  For instance, it seems like plans have called through with friends a couple times.  Are her friends ditching her?  Will she be able to handle that?  Or maybe they aren’t ditching her a d she’s being paranoid?  Maybe they’re ditching her because she’s acting super weird because her meds aren’t right?  Should I get her less involved in things? More involved i things? Is she hiding things from me? Normal teen things, or important things?  Am I too involved in all this?  Not involved enough?  Should I. E checking her room?  Checking her computer?  
I’ve totally lost faith in myself as a parent. [/quote]

boy this is completely true... mine is now at college and struggling and I change my mind about how to react about every second. First I'm pissed because she slept through her therapist appt, then I'm sad because she's obviously so depressed she can't even get out of bed and I'm harassing her about a late fee. I'm not near her, how can I help, do I help? So so hard.[/quote]

As a parent of a high school senior, I think I will be in your shoes next year.  Hugs.  [/quote]
