things have been difficult with dd for a while now - and she blows up at the slightest hint of criticism. - i always tell her I love her and spend time with her when I can (I work and have 4 children). she recently started working - though the shifts are not fun and she has to get taxi's home which eat up her minimal wage. (DH refuses to pick her up at 4 in the morning, and i don't drive, or I would! ) She went to the docs today and he put her on anti- depressants and booked her in for a counselling session. feel so guilty, like i have not been a good mum - but she is so difficult to live with (her bedroom is litterally waist high with dirty clothes and rubbish etc!, she is unreliable etc etc).
the dr also gave her the results of some blood tests that were taken as her periods have stopped - and it appears she has a hormonal inbalance - they will discuss this and get back to her. I did say i would go with her to her next appointment.
wonder if things will ever be ok
