Thanks for responding so quickly! I must admit because the thread was old I was amazed at your replying and greatly appreciate it.When I say "..losing my daughter.." perhaps I mean slipping away out of the conventional path but also denying herself the reward of completing high school - when she only has two credits to complete. Today, because she is being very forgetful, conveniently so, I did get her to sign a simple statement that said if we could arrange it she would home school for these two credits...but the look of sheer PANIC when any academic studying is mentioned is remarkable... and within a few minutes of signing she is "...out the door.."
Also, I have been so let down getting help for her. She is on a waiting list for being admitted to a hospital for evaluation...and I have not been able to find a psychiatrist who seems knowledgable enough to properly evaluate her, particularly as she is so difficult/angry when we go...They don't seem to know how to approach her...
