My daughter (13 years old) has been going through a very hard summer. Her best friend moved away. They were like sisters. The worst part was that the parents were going through a breakup and everyday things changed as to where the mom was going to take her. She would set up times to get together and then not follow through. One night my daughter got a call at 10:30 pm saying that she is leaving and moving 8 hours away the next day at 6:00 AM.. It has been such an emotional rollercoaster. To put it in a nut shell. The main problem is that my daughter would sob sometimes until 2:00 AM She doesn't want to do anything or see anyone other than immediate family. Things she once enjoyed gives her no interest. She will go from being like this to being very hostile and angry to the point that she even said : I HATE YOU! to me. She later regretted it. Should I consider trying an anti-depressant (she has an appointment next week) Has anyone ever had their child on them and what were the results? I know as well that partially she is experiencing puberty, but I think it goes way beyond that.
