At wits end with teenage dd

[Pikafuckingwho]

Dd has ASD and ADD she is so depressed, all she wants to do is sleep. She hates life, hates me, hates her siblings.

She begrudgingly goes to college but doesn’t really try. She is under camhs for her add and depression. She takes her anti depressants but I don’t think consistently.

No matter what I do for her, she hates me, is rude and horrible. I’ve tried everything.

Im sat here in tears. Ds just said she is an absolute dick to you mum. No one else is allowed to speak to you the way she does.

She won’t engage with Camhs, she won’t engage with anyone. I don’t know what else to do. I’m shit scared of her hurting herself but the entire house is on egg shells.

So sorry op that's really tough

One of my dc went through a tricky time with mental health. I ended up getting some counselling through my work place as it was really impacting me and that helped a lot, is that something you could look into?

The walking on eggshells is incredibly hard for the whole family.

I think I need to talk to someone. She is making me depressed and I’m not handling it.

Well I think that despite the add, depression etc she shouldn't get a free pass to behave like an arsenal. Particularly if it's negatively affecting your other children who you also have a duty of care to.

But when is it that she is just being an arsehole and when is it that she needs help? She has self harmed and been suicidal and now she seems to know how to have so much power over the whole fucking house.

I've got one of these, it's really tough. Young Minds charity helped me a lot
