[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you paying for college?

Tell her that college is a major investment, and that you love her and support her, but you cannot in good conscience make such a major investment when she is unwell.   She is showing you she is unwell by refusing to talk with you and by not going to therapy or taking prescribed medications.   At 18 that is her legal right; however you are not legally obligated to support her in college if she insists on going when she isn't well.

Tell her that she will always have a place in your home and that you are happy to provide access to the internet as long as she agrees to your stipulations:   that she attends therapy, takes prescribed medication and is civil to the family.  If she feels she can't do those things, you will understand that she needs to leave your home.

Let her move out. Call school and see about postponing a year until she is more healthy.

No one should go to college in the middle of major depression.[/quote]

This is essentially what we did with my DS. Things are not perfect, but they are much, much better.[/quote]

Can you please elaborate? Did your DS have similar symptoms? Did he agree for the gap year? How did thing work out?[/quote]
