Dear Mom,

Will she always be spacey like this? Well, yeah. But her degree of impairment (or enhancement, one could argue) will ebb and flow and this is true of everyone.

For example, I am an intense person. I am always “simmering” but at various times my life will come to a rolling boil. Then it becomes, “WHO LET THE DOGS OUT!” I’m sure you can relate. Right now, your daughter is flared and requires medication, but this does not mean it will be this way forever.

See, your daughter is very young. We all have to learn to manage ourselves, and it ain’t easy. Your daughter has this challenge, but what about the ultra-angry kid? Or the depressive kid? They’re in the same boat. Their life is a challenging life, but as we age, hopefully we evolve and find productive ways to channel our energy.

For example, I used to be quite “whack” with my energy. I would go off in various ways pretty readily. These days, I go to the gym and work out on a cross-trainer at level twenty. And I write and write and write and write. No one is hurt, and I’m quite happy! So you get my point. Your daughter will never get rid of her spacey-ness, but she may very well learn to be creative with it.

And here’s one more example: my life-long friend, Ben. Ben’s got a lot of Scorpio, is of mixed race (from back before this was more common) and he’s gay. He had a tortured childhood. But he found the cello as an outlet, and he made it his career.

I was talking to him recently.

“Where would you be without your cello?” I asked.

“Dead”.

See, all of his energy goes into his playing. And so it is with your daughter. There is no use trying to rid her of her essence. Instead, try to help her be creative with it. It’s no small job, I admit. But she’s your daughter, and there are no accidents, so I bet you’re equipped.

Good luck
