[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kick out? No.

Develop a plan together? Yes.

A child needs a parent to be on their team. Regardless of age. Forever. It’s mom and child against the depression. Not mom against child.

This. This attitude is actually the solution to a lot of conflict between parents and children, and between spouses. It's something we say in our house all the time when a conflict arises -- we're on the same team. Always. We have the same goal. Always. We might disagree on approach and we have to figure that out. But we're never actually working in opposition.[/quote]

That’s all great if you are neurotypical and mentally healthy.

General therapy and communication recs don’t work if someone’s not. [/quote]

Not PP. Do you think that only healthy people benefit from therapy?[/quote]

This is PP and I have the same question. I'd also note that even if you are dealing with issues that can't be fixed with communication and therapy alone, you still have to start from the place of "we're in this together." Because you are, whether you want to be or not.[/quote]
