> It is good to have a place like this to vent and I know it may be

boring to some and perhaps a lot are tired of hearing about this

problem. I apoligize to them, but at times, I need to just write it

out and get it out of my system.

Again thank you for caring and writing me,,,Jean

Jean,

Please don't ever feel that you need to apologize to us for venting

your fears, frustration and concern over your daughter's health

and frame of mind. It's just good that you have a place to go to

where you can explain your problems. All of us here certainly

understand your concerns, and I personally commend you never

ending attempts to help . As a mother, I can say that if it

were my daughter, I would be doing just as you are.

I've watched this story unfold and have read each of your posts,

and it seems that is becoming more and more reticent and

reclusive, and this is really frightening. Especially when I heard

that she's taken the children out of school. This must be very

hard on the children, too. They are at an age where they really

need school and the social stimulation that it provides, other

than being cooped up at home with an ill and depressed mother.

Is there a husband in this picture?

It seems that the situation has degressed to the point where

someone really needs to intervene. needs professional

help with her CP and help with her obvious depression. You

must be so frightened for her. I wish there was something I

could do to help, for all of you.

I really just wanted to say that we are here to listen and help and

offer suggestions whenever we can. I imagine you must feel

very rejected, but we all know that you are doing everything

possible to reach your daughter and care for her in the most

loving way.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi
