DD is 16 unreasonable and v selfish. has managed to destroy 1 laptop by spilling liquid on it and now 2 keys are missing on replacement. won't tidy room, try to get part time job, has dropped phone and now it is playing up. Denys anything is ever her fault.
Not great but all part of being a teenager?
DH is at wits end and despite being most untidy person ever shouts and screams at her and swears at her. he has had major depression in past and this means he cannot ever let anything drop or focus on the big things
she got A's A*s at gcse, helps out with local brownie pack, is engaged and motivated about her a level choices (even if not reallly doing enough at this early stage)
it has got to point where dh says he will thow her out or leave
help! atmosphere is toxic. DS 14 goes to room.
DH won't talk to anyone or get counselling which I could get through a confidential advice service from work.
any advice welcome as i just don't know what to do as they both need help and support but I feel I am failing everyone.
