but not NEARLY as bad as what other (non-helicoperting parents) on this board are facing with kids who get into drugs or fall in to severe depression.[/quote]

Actually, you are wrong there. His mom is afraid he's suicidal (not just lately but since things began to fall apart) and that's how she justifies spying on him and going through his stuff.  But she won't take him to a psychologist because she's afraid of the stigma if the school finds out. [/quote]  overinvoled parents do  not create suicidal kids.  It can increase anxiety perhaps, but suicidal tendencies are from mental illness. If the child is this depressed it is mostly genetic not environmental. Not at all a cautionary tale for parenting unless you mean a mom not getting her child help. Feel feel to helicopter your child since there is no cause effect to be seen here. If anything. Mom and son share genetic tendencies towards instability. Or mom's parenting is making worse mental health issues that would manifest themselves eventually. I'm sure you are a troll, but if not please stop gossiping about this poor family and using them for some weak morality tale. Our kids are who they are and twin studies show that who they are is mostly genetics.[/quote]
