about my baby

[BeHereNow]

8. Oh I know the scene well. It's my fault too.

Don't beat yourself up over that one.
Depression is nobody's fault- it just is.

Do you like the therapist? Does your daughter?
As far as the dorms go, might as well hand her a loaded gun.

I sent an ambitious, bright and extremely talented young woman
to Chicago. Three years later I spent 10,000 dollars in doctors bills trying to get her back
to some former version of herself.

Remind her she is very fortunate to BE in school, so many
want to go and never get the opportunity and tell her you will set aside
a little money, that would go to paying for the dorm, for later-
Maybe bargain with her on that like this:
Show us two years of academic success and some willingness
to work part time, and we'll discuss helping pay for an apartment for you later.

Might work, I am still figuring it out with my daughter.
