That my doctor has put me on Paxil for anxiety/depression and Ambien for sleep... So I'm thinking what do I really have to be depreesed/anxious about... maybe I depress myself on purpose since I like to try and understand the human psyche... and you know I like that whole hands on experience thing... then again, I've really been depressed before but I didnt go to a doctor I just let it pass..maybe it never really passed maybe it's just been suppressed...

Sweetie, don't. I have done it. And to prove what? That I was stronger than my mind. Oh, and by the way I won. It took me two years to recover, flunked a year etc... Not worth it. You'll find yourself again but only for 95% . Things will change forever. That twisted suspicion will always stay.

Is it possible for your daughter's father to put some positive thoughts into your daughter's thought process?

Also, what about the logic of it e.g. I was a single parent and I had to work to support us both?

I think she is just rebelling and reestablishing herself as her own person. It doesn't seem like it but it will all work out in the wash. This is her claiming her independence from you. In an odd way, it is healthy.

Everything will be okay. Just doesn't seem like it right now.

aqua girl - leave her alone... but keep an eye on her. Accept every thing she accuse you off and apologize and tell her you weren't aware that she felt it that way... and you will sure try your best to change. Dont ask her what she did or what she gonna do. She is too proud and mysterious to share her thoughts with you. But its just for a few years... She will come around... sound and sensible... take it easy...

The libran is right.

She is trying to find herself and she is using her thoughts about you to do so. It may be as simple as your were more of the disciplinarian than her father so she is migrating towards him because it is easier, but in her mind there is a more profound reason. Also, a lot of times the parent who had majority custody during the development years gets the cold shoulder as the child grows into an adult and they lean towards the other parent as they need to discover the other half of the equation that created him. You may have been logical and pragmatic about her wants and desires, he may be encouraging and it feels good, though it may not really be objectively any more helpful than you were.

A lot of it has to do with rebelling. Aquarians have a really strong need for independance, and she is justifying her need of independance through you. I did somethin similar with my parents from a few years younger than her to about 21....so....if it is just starting then you have a couple of years to go most likely. My mom was EXTREMELY independant at the same age your daughter is and very, very disciplined. I was extremely independant but a little more idealistic and indulgant. But hey....libra.
