Description

Since finishing high school, she has refused everything: college classes, job applications, exploring other therapies or taking any small steps toward independence.

DEAR ABBY: I am the single mom of a 19-year-old daughter who copes with bipolar 2, ADHD, anxiety and depression. She has a mental age that’s younger than her adult self. Over the years, she has gone through therapy and changes in medication.
