Hi
I hope someone can put my mind at rest. I've two DD's aged 14 and 16 and my youngest is really worrying me. She began year 10 and I think she's worrying about her GCSEs already etc but also she keeps getting so weepy and over the weekend, she broke down a few times, and last night said that she just feels so sad all the time. On Friday, she opened up a bit about her dad, (we're divorced) as at the beginning of this year, he went to work down in Cornwall (we live in Hertfordshire) and met a Polish woman and he completed changed towards my two daughters,only seeing them for an hour or so and taking them to KFC, only speaking about himself and his new girlfriend. Then a couple of months ago he moved down there permanantly. Bearing in mind we split up 6 years ago and for 5 years, he'd come round to see the girls whenever he liked (which used to pee me off but I'd put up with it). He was never a great provider and only just recently begun paying maintenance. She broke down and said she didn't understand why he left them and why did they have such a rubbish dad. I've had depression before and and so scared she may be going that way.
