Dear Amy: Our teenage daughter, who has put us through the wringer in many ways, was recently caught stealing money.
We confronted her lovingly, set limits, gave consequences, and dried her tears with hugs and lots of love.
She is on antidepressants and under the care of a psychiatrist. She was in therapy, but no longer wants to go. But now I’m starting to feel used. Honestly, stealing from us right after the confrontation really pushed me over the edge. She also admitted it – both times.– Anxious ParentsI suggest that you toughen your spines while you also toughen the way you love your daughter.
You don’t say what she is doing with the money she has been stealing, but she could be abusing drugs or alcohol.My overall point is that in my opinion this is not normal teenage tomfoolery that you will laugh about later. At this point you are fighting to preserve her future.I recently saw an old friend that I had not seen in 25 years.Article content
