Perma'd for finding touchdown dancing about stealing video games an odd conversation for the nexus of harcore gamerzzzz. Feeling pretty solid about it.

How could a mental professional hurt? Jfc.
It costs money, something some families don't have.
I mean if he does the legwork in finding someone that'll see her pro-bono, sure. But I feel like he's right in that anything that is taken away from her (her iPhone) is just her being angry about it under the guise of depression.
That said, I know someone that was using drugs at 16-18 while dating a family member. They're married to said family member now (much to our families dismay) and steals money from their kids AND Sig. Other (our family member) to buy drugs and self-medicate their depression. I doubt sending them to a therapist would work. And if his daughter is already doing drugs and sex, I'm going to go out on a limb and be cynical with saying she's probably doing more than her boyfriend and turning tricks for cash. Which is probably why he's more angry with her than her grades.
*reads OP again* Ah, yeah.
I don't really know what to do. I used to do it when I was her age. At the same time she already gets bad grades in school which is what I'm actually most concerned about. I had a baby way too young. I smoked weed all the time. I dropped out of high school. I was not a good kid. I don't want her doing the same thing.
Yeah, he's fucked. As soon as she is pregnant he needs to kick her out. I know that's being tough-love and throwing her out on street. But I feel like she's going down a bad road and there's nothing he can do about it. Paying for therapy for her isn't going to solve her "depression" issues if she's self-medicating.
