Thanks for the reply.

I find your daughter's decision to get rejected on purpose to be very brave. My kiddo isn't there yet. Is there anything you did as a parent that you feel helped get her to the place where she could address her issues so bravely?

What is the most helpful response you've found to a teen who is melting down over a social event?

Really, I'll take any crumbs of wisdom you can offer.
