So your daughter is staying in Ohio User? That must be hard for you.

Not right now, lol. Seriously, she spent the entire summer in her room. NOTHING could be worse than watching that. Yeah, she's a distance away but you can get anywhere in the US in a day, right? I imagine my husband will be out there to visit her within a couple of weeks. She has freedom to call too so we talked yesterday and today and I'm sure we'll talk again tomorrow. I'm relieved. I posted earlier that she was so damn miserable that she was throwing out talk about suicide. On the one hand, I didn't think she'd really do anything but on the other hand, you never know so I/we were watching her constantly. Right now she's safe, she's getting help...I'll probably sleep better for the next few weeks than I have in months.

She's so damn stubborn!! The first thing the doctor's wanted her to do is start taking fish oil supplements every night. Not a big deal, I've read they can help with mood stabilizing etc. and she calls and bitches about it tonight. I basically just said "shut up and do what the doctors want you to do...that's why you're there". You'd think from her reaction they were asking her to shave her head or something. Freaking teens. They think they know everything anyway and then you add something like this in...she thinks she knows more than the damn doctors. Dummy.

I love her but her condition basically gave me a freaking nervous break down a few weeks ago so no...it's not hard right now. She's much better off in Ohio than she was at home.

I've gotten over her having a normal girl/teen experience. Dances, sleepovers etc...my dreams for her in that regard died a while ago. I just want her to be content/capable of functioning. She's bright and beautiful and has no idea. Shame.
