I wanted to thank those who commented on my situation.In case you want to be up to speed Im having my mail sent elsewhere and Im preparing for college by by taking the SAT and ACT.*~*Summer*~*
What was your grandma like before your depression? Is it possible she has a mental illness herself? She might have a personality disorder--or she could just naturally be nasty. My grandmother's horrid, too. Whatever her problem is, do all it takes to take care of you. Do you have a school therapist who can help you?
Dear Summer,
It seems like your grandmother is being unable to see you as a different person from your mother. It is unfortunate that you have to go through this. She may be trying to achieve something which she was unable to do with your mother. Her behaviour obviously is hurting you. You need to continue seeing the counsellor and express your concerns. Family therapy would be helpful, if your grandmother agrees to participate. Also your counsellor may need to keep a close look for any recurrence of depressive symptomatology. Good Luck.
Sincerely
HFHS-M.D.
Have you talked to anyone at school about your situation? You might try talking to the nurse who got yelled when you got sick and called home. She would be able to verify what happened and will likely be able to get some one at your school to help, especially if you needed to see a doctor and your grandmother wouldn't take you. You should also contact a counselor or social worker if your school has these people. You shouldn't have to go through something like this. Your grandmother may need help herself. This way, you might be able to help yourself and her, too.
Sounds to mee like your grandma may be depressed herself and is jealous that your life seems to back in order. Don't let her push you around, you're a mature young woman who has her head on right. You don't seem to have a problem, but maybe your gram needs some help now.
Take care.
