[quote=Anonymous]Well every case is different, 19:02. Some children like your SD grow out of these habits and, despite accommodating parents, manage to navigate college. Your husband shouldn't beat himself up over it -- maybe things would have been worse for her if her parents hadn't been so accommodating. She may have acted out in school or turned to drugs without their support. (I think it was reasonable that they not make her walk the mile between homes!) Is she in therapy? Something sounds amiss. He can't fix it, but he can still try and fix it not by bailing her out but by being there for her. Give guidance, if she's open to it. Encourage her to do a gap year program, if that makes sense. Get to therapy. She's 19 now, maybe your husband can revisit the Adderall issue without interference from the mother. [/quote]
