**Our 19 year old Nicole (will be 20 in spring) seems tobe lazy, or
depressed or something. She is fairly non-communicative, even when asked
direct questions,so it's hard for us to know what's going on with her
inside.
...

She doesn't have any friends or any social life
outside of online...

Nicole spends long hours at night on the computer
playing online games with people, until about 4 in the
morning. She seems addicted to them to me. **

This is a fairly accurate description of the long-term behavior of a husband of a friend of mine. Would you guys be willing to look at the responses you've given so far and adjust them for a father? (In this case, I think depression is definitely an issue.)

It's hard for me to come up with constructive advice, so I could use some input.
