Parents of medically complicated teen say they need support, not opinions
They say they’re receiving professional care but keep getting unsolicited critiques about their daughter’s treatment and behavior.
Dear Eric: My 15-year-old daughter has a host of diagnoses that my husband and I are trying to navigate. We are receiving service and advice from a psychiatrist, a therapist, an occupational therapist and a speech therapist.
My problem is that I am constantly receiving rude comments and unwanted advice about my daughter. These fall into two main categories: questioning her medication and offering other comments on her behaviors.
