[quote=Anonymous]1. If she needs mental health services, I’d suggest that takes priority.

2. Unless she’s medically unable to continue I’m ordinarily against “gap years” for all of the reasons noted by PP’s and in particular because they can easily lead to loss of scholastic momentum.

3. I think kids sometimes just aren’t as focused on things like housing deadlines and the like as we are, partly because they’re still busy with high school and/or kind of burned out and partly because of immaturity. I think most colleges are in tune with this and will provide catch up opportunities if asked.

4. It is OK for you to pull out and let her be in charge of doing things herself and/or limiting your role to whatever she specifically asks of you. But please don’t just silently slip away. Some of her lack of involvement may be because she is used to you taking care of stuff. You don’t want nobody piloting the ship because each of you thought the other was taking care of it.

This is a tough situation. I hope you and your daughter can quickly get things going in the right direction. [/quote]
