taking care of the emotional needs can be emotionaly and physically exhausting too.... being 'there' for my daughter, yet having her choose not to talk to me is so devastating too.... I am glad you can experience your daughter spilling all over you, as I am wishing I had that right now... the upside, or so I keep telling myself - is she is at least talking to professionals, hard as that is to accept. At any rate, we will all come out on the bright side eventually, and somethings parents just can't solve - as tough as that is to admit.
