My point is simple - respond. Use the tools you've learned here and elsewhere to create a response. Waiting for input here is costing you precious time. Whether she responds or not - it's about YOU that matters. How YOU handle it.

You won't always get input right when you want or need it. You have to do what is right for you. It's like letting someone else "Direct" your life. It's great to get help and input but it's not always going to happen. Some of us are at a loss as to what to say that will help.

So figure out what you think is best and do it. Google some info on helping teens in the situation you describe. There are also Parent Help lines. Not everyone here can relate - we're not all in the same situation. We care though.
