Daughter cant adjust to middle school
CAROLYN HAX
tellme@washpost.com
Dear Carolyn:
I have a daughter who
is having an incredibly
hard time adjusting to
middle school. There’s
SO much more going on
with her emotions, inter
nal regret (“I wish I had
done X instead of Y!”),
and her self-imposed
pressure to do well in
school.
We don’t pressure her at all about
her grades — she’s bringing in A’s
and B’s of her own accord — and
she appears to be doing wonderfully
well to the outside world, but... on the
inside (and with us) she seems miser
able. She feels things strongly and
can be the most loving kid you could
imagine and then within a couple of
hours is screaming and slamming
doors. She lashes out at me and her
father frequently, sobs for hours
from getting a C on a quiz, and gener
ally seems out of control with her
emotions. She seems to keep it mostly
together while in school or around
others but as soon as she is home,
and I assume where she feels safe to
show her emotions, she lets it all out.
I realize there are a lot of hor
monal changes going on, but I’m fear
ful this will continue as she gets older.
We know the advantages of therapy,
but she’s so unwilling to go (“Why
would I want to talk to a complete
stranger about my feelings?” “Prom
ise me you’ll never call the counselor
again!” and “You must think I’m a
complete FREAK!”) that we’re torn
between “forcing” her (ugh!) and
working within our existing structure
of crying/screaming/apologizing/
storming around/slamming doors/
whining about every
other night.
Other days are
generally cheerful,
but my husband and
I are walking on egg
shells and emotionally
exhausted.
— Anonymous
You’re obviously
well-informed and realistic about
your daughter’s situation. She’s:
internally pressured, check; hor
monal, check; emotionally out of
control, check; exhausted by holding
it together in public, check; letting it
all out at home where she feels safe,
check; too volatile/disruptive/miser
able to be in a “phase,” check.
And you’re rational about therapy,
check.
Funny thing about being informed,
aware and evolved, though: It can lull
you into thinking you’re all set and
your daughter’s the one needing help.
You’re not all the way lulled, obvi
ously; you asked me for help. But I
harbor no illusions about my pur
pose. Most letters don’t get answered,
and everyone knows this about
advice columns, so writing to me is 1
percent asking for help and 99 per
cent writing out loud.
So consider this a nudge toward
saying out loud to a therapist, “We
need help with our daughter.” And to
her doctor, too, since some illnesses
and even food intolerances can affect
mood.
A good therapist who treats adoles
cents, especially teamed with a good
pediatrician, can give parents the
insights and phrasings and options to
engage a volatile child instead of tip
toeing around her — which can either
solve this or be Step 1 toward a treat
ment your daughter needs. Bonus, you
won’t refuse to go or call yourselves
FREAKS.
And, you can tell your daughter you
told a stranger your feelings (topics
unspecified) — and say you not only
found it helpful, but also not unlike
telling a doctor-stranger about your
abdominal pain or a dentist-stranger
about stuff getting caught in your
teeth. Don’t debate, just state. Walk
the walk to good care.
Chat with Carolyn online at noon each
Friday at www.washingtonpost.com.

Opening lead: Queen of 7?
The opening heart lead was
covered by the king and won with
the ace. East shifted to the king of
clubs. Hard Luck Louie was annoyed
with the defense. Didn’t East realize
that West’s lead was an obvious
singleton? Had East just given
partner the ruff he was asking for, the
hand would have been easy, perhaps
giving him an overtrick. East, of
course, was just playing good bridge.
One ruff was not likely to defeat
the contract, especially if it involved
setting up dummy’s long suit.
Louie won the club shift with the
ace and led a low trump to dummy’s
ace. When East showed out, the
contract could not be made. Louie
tried a low heart to his jack, but
West ruffed, led a club to East, and
ruffed another heart with the queen
of trumps.
Lucky Larry got the same defense
when he played the hand. He took his
ace of clubs at trick two and paused
for thought. The apparent 4-1 heart
split made a 2-2 split in spades less
likely. He didn’t have the entries to
test the trumps first, so he led the
jack of spades and ran it at trick
three. Larry then led a spade to the
ace, cashed the king, and led a heart
to his jack. West refused to ruff, so a
diamond to the king was followed by
the nine of hearts, covered with the
10 and ruffed by Larry. West over
ruffed, but one club trick was all that
was left for the defense.
