So, looking for some help and guidance. have a 13 year old daughter, 14 in August does who not seem to get that talking with strangers online is not ok. Previous history of ED SH one year ago and has really come on since she was poorly and hospitalised. Signed off from camhs. She seems easily led and we question if she may be on the spectrum. She has been using OMEGLE and weve just seen she has been talking to a man sending videos and chatting when I was checking her phone! Despite chats after chats about how unsafe this is. She is wanting to do normal things like go to town after school and when we have let her, there's always an arguments with one of her friendship groups or she will text last minute to say she wants more time, its like nothing is enough. So we now limit them. And sleep overs. We have now taken more control as in phone limits etc more so than we ever have done, although still trying to let her do social things with her friends but now she is saying I do not 'give her space' and when I read her phone to her best friend wow I sounded like a AWFUL person! I sounded vile :-( Saying I was angry, not 'letting her out for some reason' 'she this and she that, what is her problem? I can't do anything right....and the way she was talking about me was really unkind. I am trying to let her have independence and be social etc she doesn't seem socially aware/responsible enough or respect any boundaries at all. 1/ she is 13 years and 2/ I am sure there is a 'block' of some sort. She is a happy go lovely kind girl and to her friends its 'I just listen, agree and let her go on, just to shut her up' it was upsetting to read but I really do not know how to go from here.....
