Keep writing here, if it helps. And know that THERE ARE MANY PARENTS ON THIS FORUM WHOSE KIDS WENT THROUGH A SIMILAR CRISIS. So, many of us have been your parents. And our children have been you. And you know what? We parents emerged with a newfound respect for our children’s strength. And our children emerged OK. Changed and different, but OK: they went on to finish school and/or get jobs.

Don’t focus on the future. Focus on today. One day at a time. A step at a time. Soon you’ll discovered you’ve gone a long way toward health.

Hugs to you.
