[quote=Anonymous]It has never dawned on my that I would or should. But, my kids thankfully have pretty insignificant problems (in the grand scheme of things). An occasional C is not a crisis. If I suspected they were in a life threatening situation— like ongoing heroin use or a violent, unstable relationship— and taking to them, encouraging them to get help, expressing willingness to pay for help provided by someone of their choice, etc. hadn’t worked? IDK, honestly. One of my kids had life threatening medical issues when they were young, and I learned that you can’t say you would “never” do something. If your kid is in serious danger, you will do just about anything. I guess it would turn on what information I was looking for and what I would do with it. Say you confirm your kid is being seriously abused by an intimate partner, is there something concrete you can do? In many cases that breach of trust could work against you.[/quote]
