Thanks for the advice everyone, I am east coast and its quittin' time. Printing MLC stages and other info for D13's counselor, who is a good person IMO. She does expressive therapy as a major component of her treatment. I am optimistic about my D13 coming to terms with all this. We will be in the session in a couple of hours may jump back on tonight.
She does remember how to smile because she made the school soccer team, and was beaming. (Dad was too!!) It is a matter of finding more of those moments.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
