Yes that is her! Alot we have learned all the things we thought her just being defiant all the time not understanding or obeying, even in this short time i am looking and handling her different for the positive.Right now she is very depressed and angry and just started public school so were kind of in a holding pattern. I just keep praying she goes back to therapy. and we can only say alittle bit about anything at one time.We are just so sad.And her depression just blows up the fas. Ive been online trying to find zoom support groups.

@woohoo I do not have any familiarity with fas, nor have I been around people who suffer with this. But I am familiar with depression. Fifteen is an awkward age without any issues, add in these factors, and it becomes a challenge for everyone. If this is her first year at a new high school, students can be such bullies. Perhaps there was an incident that has turned her away from that location? The person who told you about her anger and sadness being connected may really be on to something. Expressing love and support from you and your husband, letting her know she has a safe place with you, and you will do anything to help, will go a long way, I believe.
