Mothers, How do you help a child out of depression?!


Question: Mothers, How do you help a child out of depression!?
My daughter, I have found, is planning on doing something soon!. I do not wish to even put into words what it is for I do not want to think about it!. The horrible aspect of the life of one of your own children!. Her depression has worsened and she refuses to align her body using the herbs we sell!. I think that it is a combination of her slowing health because of self-inflicted causes and the emotional stress of life!. She is not that old but she had been doing well until her lover died!. I hated that other girl but now see that she was the only thing keeping my child from this deep pit of numbness,

I just want to know if any other mothers out there have gone through similar things and if so can you share a secret or two!. Even a few kind words of comfort, though I do not suspect they will help me now!.

If anyone can help I would appreciate it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Uh-oh!. This is the first time for me to see a family dispute on Yahoo! Answers!. Hope you can work it out!.

After about age 18, you have to let your kids live their own lives!. If she's truly suicidal, then even herbs may not help -- she may need to try allopathic medicine!.

It's probably best to keep your judgements to yourself, but let her know you are there to listen, and if you offer financial support, make sure there are NO strings attached!. Give from your heart, and expect nothing in return!. Not even gratitude!. You give because you are a mom!.

One day, if your kids become mothers, they will begin to realize what you are going through, but until then, you just have to be selfless -- WITHOUT being a martyr! If you feel like you are sacrificing too much, then just take a break from it for awhile!. Your daughter is old enough to find her own resources!.

This is a little cold, but you can't sacrifice yourself completely!. Keep a balance in the relationship, and let your children find their own answers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Mom, you know as well as i do that what you say is not always true! Right now you are not trying to help Ifny, you are being as selfish as you always have! Why do you think we moved out!? I told her I didn't think it was good of her to go back but she has a mind of her own!. Now look what you are doing to her! I am not always accusatory towards you but you have to be woken up sometime otherwise you may completely lose both of us! Me, you have already pushed away!.!.!. and I am afraid to say what I think could happen to sis! Keep trying mom, as you always told us, you are far from reaching it yet!Www@Answer-Health@Com
