Interesting you should mention enabling. I know I have done that to a point with my daughter. As mothers we are always trying to fix things for our children but I'm slowly beginning to realize that we cannot fix everything. We too have a family history of depression and I do think that is part of it, however, I do think there is a reactive component. Also, interestingly, I'm wondering if she was over-medicated of late. She was on Wellbutrin, which her father took and did not respond to well at all, and then her doc ordered Abilify which I think really brought her down. She is almost two weeks now into treatment with Lexapro which I'm hoping is starting to make a difference.View Thread
