Grown men 40+ plus calling my 18 year old a slag across the street

She’s in the shower scrubbing herself because she feels “filthy”. I said they were probably drunk and it’s a reflection on them nobody else and she did the right thing to keep walking so nothing else happened. She’s screaming and hitting the walls and apparently it’s all my fault.
I don’t know what to say to her

The men are cunts but your DD doesn't sound well at all. Were you exaggerating that she'd break your arm or has she been violent before?

I didn’t mean literally but she would over react she’s certainly not in control of her emotions. She’s so close to her A levels I don’t know what to do for the best, I kinda want to deal with all this after her exams but before she goes to uni if that’s at all possible

She's crying out for help.

What an awful situation you have been put in.

Inliverpool1 · 19/01/2019 12:17

I know.

The school have been hopeless, back in October she flagged she needed support, they promised her cbt then the teacher left and the referral vanished with him/her. We’ve just no faith any more.

It is an extreme reaction but it makes me so angry that your DD or any woman should just have to get used to it and accept this shit as part of normal life.
This. A thousand times this. I had it, no doubt I'll have to watch my dd go through it too, and no we shouldn't have to. Hope your dd is ok, op, and will get the counselling she needs.

My DD is 18 and gets this crap on a almost weekly basis. I think it has got worse than when I was 18.

I have mentioned this earlier, but kooth is an online counselling and wellbeing service for young people. It might be worth looking at.

@gottastopeatingchocolate thank you

I second kooth.com, it helped both my niece and nephew. Try to sit her down to talk, I'm sure she'll open up when she's feeling less emotional.
