My 21 year old daughter has always been hard work, and although she lives with her bf and not with me, she is still an absolute nightmare. No job, sleeps all day and is awake all night, reads texts messages wrongly (always takes them the wrong way) and blames me for her life being shit. She's very selfish and rarely thinks about supporting anyone in the family, let alone thanking for a present etc.
Meanwhile her father left us all last year for a young floozie who he immediately got pregnant and they now have a baby and live abroad. YET.... weak daddy never gets it in the neck and she seems to treat him as an 11 year old pen pal.
I've tried to move on with my life and put my heart and soul into my work, charity work and my ASD son. I have no help and yet have learnt to just get on with things and smile. Even that is wrong is her eyes.
Last night she wrote the most vile things to me and even went on about the 2 smacks I gave her on the bottom as a child!! Seriously?!?!?!?
I wonder if she has bipolar or is this just the norm with a young adult?? I ring her everyday, text her, send her loving messages, yet she makes zero effort with me. Some days she'll answer the phone (if she's up at 4pm !) and be chatty...other days she ignores me.
Why me???? I'm so depressed.
