Thank you Nymzie. I think you are pretty much spot on. I had a fitful couple nights thinking about this, and any which way I spin her taking the Zoloft she loses. She has to come to that conclusion herself. We have told her to do her research and make her decision, I’m hoping that with the offer of a psychologist she will give up the drug idea. We are supposed to talk this weekend.
I am doing my best to keep my mouth shut. She has problems with authority, same as I did/do. We’re both strong Sags and we both think we know everything.
Any esoteric stuff is a taboo subject and I don’t discuss those things with her, however, I suggested maybe she get a reading when I go, and she was interested - didn’t say no. Since then, I had a mini reading from one of the psychics on facebook, you know, where they say ask a question etc, so I asked do you have anything for my daughter? Guidance? And his response was that she had cut herself off from her source, and I think he is completely on point.
She has to figure it out.
I agree with you she doesn’t seem to know what she wants or needs, and she has admitted as much. What I don’t understand is why she can’t think about the future! It’s like it doesn’t exist. Everything is here and now, and there are no perceived ramifications - that is the completely bizarre part.
For example, she just had a colposcopy and the results were favorable, but she has to go back for a follow up in January. I asked her if she was going to phone in December to book an appointment for Jan and she said they’ll phone her. If it were me, I would be marking my calendar to follow up. She doesn’t see the need ... same with her finances. She thought they would just sort themselves out. ???
I’m working on letting go, I really am. It is good to know/be reinforced that my instinct on this drug stuff is bad for her. For the 2020 January dates, I’m going to conveniently have some sort of thing planned to take care of that. She is no stranger to risky behavior, but maybe by then she’ll have woken up a little.
