"I have a 15 year old daughter who refuses to go to school. She had a very traumatic experience of sexual abuse last year with a high school boy. She refuses to get counseling for this. She is becoming so defiant about school and the work and is missing so many days. We have taken her to counseling many times, she now refuses to go. Won't take her medication the psyc. put her on. She thinks that she can 'fix' this all by herself. She has been involved with so much girl drama and seems to thrive on it. We are at a lost. She is not doing drugs, drinking, etc. We need help! Any suggestions? We want to explore and try everything before we look into residential treatment. "
