Thank you all...

Thanks to you all!!  I cannot tell you how much you have all helped me, I got a LOT of insight, tips, help, support......this was just amazing.  I am aware some of this is problems w/ me also, no one is perfect, and honestly, I am doing the best I can, it probably has to do with MY feeling unloved while I was growing up, and I DO feel terrible if I have an effect on my daughter.  I do go for help, I will speak to my counselor once a week, and tomorrow when I speak to her, we are going to discuss all of this.


I would love it if she would come to counseling w/me also, or on her own, I've been very careful to bring this up, waited for the right time, was very gentle, but she wasn't interested in going.  I will keep gently trying and eventually maybe she'll go to counseling.  Yes I will tell her I love her, which I really do....


Thank you all, you're all good souls!!

maria718 - I didn't mean in a negative way when I said to plan how you will respond before trying to ask your daughter about her problem. I hope you and your daughter will do fine. I am concerned about your daughter's depressions and would like to suggest that you watch her closely. I will keep you both in my prayers. Hope you have a good night sleep tonight.

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...
