[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your daughter has significant anxieties about leaving the house. When someone with anxiety engages in avoidance, it only worsens the anxiety. If she can’t manage getting out on her own, then she needs behavioral health support. You also need to set boundaries. Your goal should be greater independence for your child (or complete independence if her level of disability will allow it). You can set conditions for living in the family home—participating in therapy, volunteering x times per week, and/or taking a part-time job. Help your child to be more self-sufficient and establish healthy connections.[/quote]
