Daughter 19 Years Old in Air Force

My 19 year old daughter just left for the air force 2 weeks ago. She is really struggling and wants to come home. I keep encouraging her and write to her often. She didn't have any of my letters since last friday. I hope she got them now. Are there any other parents out there with children in military and how did you cope? I am struggling too. I want her to succeed as I feel strongly about this for her too. This has been her life long dream and I keep reminding her of this. Please if you can help and lmk how your child coped?

18 Year Old Reading 50 Shades

Hello all, My co-worker just mentioned that someone had lent her 18 year old daughter the 50 Shades book. She heard me saying I had read it and asked me what it was about and if I thought it was appropriate for her daughter. I said I didn't think so but am curious to what you all would say. She then asked me what I would do in her place? Any advice. Thanks!

What Mental Illness Does My 18 Year Old Have?

My teenage daughter is being treated for anxiety/depression but I think she must have a mental disorder. She is on her third different kind of medication. She was in a gifted program and had many friends up until 6th grade when she stopped having friends over, stayed in her room a lot, and her grades slipped. We finally got the anxiety disorder diagnosis but getting her to graduate was a struggle. She failed 2 wriiten driving tests before passing and now two drive tests...3rd coming up. She is constantly angry, combative, hostile,...

How to Overcome a Jealous Adult Child

I have 4 children (2 are adults), husband has 2 adult children in their 30’s. His eldest daughter continues to exclude me and my kids from events that should be family oriented. For example, I gave a olive branch and said hey let’s do something special for your dad for Father’s Day, as usual she didn’t like my suggestion even though it was something he really wanted and suggests brunch. I said that would be great! Then a day later, she sends a text to only her brother and father saying they were doing brunch at 11. In which my...

Seeking Advice About Adult Daughter

My adult daughter (30) lives with her boyfriend over 800 miles away. It's not a question of me not accepting her boyfriend because I do. I have visited her a couple of times and we've had good times. However, she communicates very little with me or her dad and even with the rest of the family. She was adopted at 3 mos. but she is our wonderful daughter who grew up in a loving, warm family. I'm wondering if some of her feelings are deep rooted because she feels so detached from all of us. I usually write her once a week or everyother...

18 Year Old Son Is Losing His Hair! Please Help My Heart Is Breaking!

My 18 year old son has been dramatically losing his hair for the last year, starting off with a head full of golden wavy locks. His hairline is moving back on his forehead and I can obviously tell that his hair is thin on top of his head. When he asks me why this is happening, I wish I had an answer for him. The doctor has done several blood tests and medically he is fine. Next week we go to the dermatologist. His father and grandfather have all of their hair, but my father and grandfather have very thin hair...not at his age though! He is...

We've Been Sick Since October!

It started with Croup, then it was a cold, then a "virus", two weeks ago it was rotovirus and now the flu! My son is 17 months old but I swear he's had everything this season. It's winter, I get that but what can I do to keep him healthy and not go crazy stuck at home because we're afraid we'll get sick? I'm pretty cautious about our surroundings when we do go out. I want to let him be 17 months old but I don't keep him in a bubble either... is this just something I have to deal with in the winter, every winter? Can anyone give me some...

When Do You Actually Refer to Age in Years?

So I'm at Target with my daughter today and I run into a friend. Her sister is in town along with her son and the three of them were looking at toys. My friend's nephew was darling. I asked her sister "how old is he?" Her response? "Forty two months." Really? Really???? Geez, he's three and a half. I understand that there may be medical or theraputic reasons to refer to a child's age in months, but for the sake of a simple conversation, was this really necessary? At what age do you refer to your child in years and not...

Seeking Advice on Autistic Adult Daughter and Her Hygiene

My autistic daughter is 32 and her hygiene could use some major improvements. She lives in her own place because of disability assistance. Whenever I go to visit each week its apparent she hasn't bathed because she's wearing the same clothes and she hasn't brushed her teeth either because her breath smells. It seems unless I physically bathe her, get her dressed, and brush her teeth it otherwise doesn't happen. I can yell at her for it but at that does is just make her mad and her ignore me. The dentist has yelled at her more times...
