Parent the child you have, not the one you want
Sadly, females from South Korea have one of the highest suicide rates in the world. I agree that this is a growing problem for all but statistics prove certain demographic groups are at higher risk.
I think that people need to read the other thread before responding here.
With the daughter at home due to COVID, I hope her therapist can access the help so badly needed.
This family’s issues are beyond what this forum can offer. I for one am going to leave it to the professional involved.
ps just discovered the other thread was closed by the moderator exactly because they need more help than CC can give…
The other thread has been closed, but it is still viewable.
We crossposted. I checked and came back to edit my post. It is indeed closed but still showing in the Parents Forum.
@iowaboy3 , your complete failure to acknowledge any POV expressed by these posters, other than your own, makes me 99.9% certain that you are not who you say you are. Your two posts display all the hallmarks of a bored student who thinks it’s fun to get committed, helpful people commenting on your outrageous comments about “your child.”
In the event that you are indeed who you say you are, why did you post? Your replies clearly indicate that you have no interest in any other opinion and that you are simply trying to provoke. This comment exemplifies your desire to do nothing more than arouse ire:
“It’s so frustrating having other families around me say that their kid is going to our state flagship on a full ride to be pre-med, or to Georgia Tech as a Stamps Scholar for Chemical Engineering, or to community college with the intention of transferring to a local public four-year as a computer engineering major. Meanwhile, DH and I are shelling out tens of thousands of dollars this year only for DD to be completely unappreciative and have no direction whatsoever.”
Alright, I’ll continue to play along. Who gives a rat’s behind about what other families think? I feel deeply sorry for “your unappreciative daughter,” if indeed she exists.
You’re actually a pretty good writer. Why not put your storytelling abilities to good use during these unpleasant times and write a bestseller? And in the sad event that you are, in fact, writing about yourself, I urge you to speak with a counselor or a trusted adult.
I’m also thinking this is a bored teen. “iowaboy” would be a very strange choice of a call name for a mom!
My feeling is that this could be someone deliberately trying to stir up anti-Asian sentiment.
Moderator’s Note:
As was pointed out in the other thread the OP needs to seek out professional assistance.
