I have an 11 year old step child i'll call V who has been dealing with anxiety and depression for over a year. Their mother, L, took them to a gp who immediately prescribed medication. I offered to help L find a good psychiatrist and counselor that worked with the child's insurance since I have a 13 year old son dealing with many of the same issues and was sent straight to a psychologist. L would never take V to a psychiatrist after working with me to find one. L then asked me to look for a counselor for V and I gladly did but again L did not take V to the counselor.
