Lou Thanks and your right, counseling is way to go here. I've suggested it on several occasions. However, for various reasons she doesn't want to swallow that pill. Printer is currently work fine, but I'll make note of the resource. On a related note. I am of the opinion that they should just give away those cheap inkjet printers for free, caure they sure as h#ll extorte you for the refill cartrigages.
Choc Yes we are in somewhat similar situations and I have been following your posts as well. Thanks for your encouragment to continue to post. Misery loves company. Maybe that is way this board is so actively successful.
BF Thanks for your insight and reading between some of the lines there. Which you usually do quite well. You are right that there is lots going on. Currently I am digging down into that pile in hopes of finding that legendary needle. Your right about the positives. However, although she isn't hostile, she does get into a defensive position when I try to discuss it. I do recognize it for what it is (outside of her comfort zone) and call her on it choosing my words carefully in an non threatening way.
At her age, the on set of hormonal changes are part of the equation as well. After doing some reading across various medical boards across the web though, I am convinced that depression is the root source. Your closing words of wisdom are fitting. I need to strap on a big pair between my legs, light that torch and lead the way out of this darkness.
