Wow, that must have been so hard! I do not understand how it feels. I do have depression, but I've never experienced that anxious dread I picture on her face. My husband doesn't understand. He thinks grounding her and taking her things will do good.

my mother gave in to me, which was bad. I missed so much elementary school that a truant officer came to out house which I am sure they don't do any more. In fact
records showed that I missed the equivalent of one year of school in my first 6 years of elementary school and I turned out OK, went to college, got CPA, etc., so kids
have a habit of turning things around and I know other similar cases.
