[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would stick to her like white on rice. FFS.

I don't care if my kid is dramatic or just need attention. I would drop everything and bring her back home. Then I would be with her and hug her and just comfort her to the best of my abilities. Next day - a therapist and ask her to be given anti-anxiety meds.  I would take any abuse she heaped on me in the process and spend as much money as was needed to make her happy, healthy and functional again.  I would think that it would be a long road and I and my DH would pour every resource in fixing it.  I would make sure that she is getting therapy, that she is being taken care of by us.

You would do this until you have been doing it for years and it disrupts college and work numerous times and you have paid for years of therapy, medicine and intensive programs and now you have no idea what to do.  I’ve learned that I have a highly anxious kid who vents to me in a very scary way, but that all I can really do at this point is listen.[/quote]
