[quote=Anonymous]Your message is fine as is. Leave it there and force yourself to assume the best (i.e. not assume it landed badly). Expecting a reply places responsibility on her to help you manage your feelings about what she is experiencing. As someone who has been struggling with a very depressed/suicidal teen for almost 3 years, I do appreciate the reach-outs but they also make me feel like I have to give an update - and updates are obsolete the minute I send them as things change fast. And additionally, it often feels like people are seeking good news and I often just don't have it to give, and talking about the hard stuff is often just too hard.[/quote]
