I have 3 dds - mid to late teens and I have been doing it alone for some time now. I am massively proud of myself for doing it alone and I have always supported us all financially, it's been tough but we have always managed. I have no support from their Father. My eldest had a bad year last year starting with a car accident then being diagnosed with an eating disorder then going through a bad break up. She seems to have got herself into a bit of a rut and I have no clue how to get her out of it. She dropped out of college as it was all just too much for her. She now works at the most 2 shifts a week in a hotel but she has no interest in doing anything else at all. Every time we talk about it it just ends in a massive argument and I'm so fed up of it. She has always had an attitude and we have always clashed a bit. I have found her a few jobs in the past 6 months but she refuses and says it's none of my business and I shouldn't be making decisions for her. I really am at my wits end with it and getting no support from their Father is so frustrating. Last night I went for a drive and just sat in the car crying. I just don't know what to do.

I am so sorry you’re experiencing this. I don’t have any advice and sure someone will come along who has older children.

you’re doing a fab job. It’s shit at times, but don’t forget what you’ve achieved on your own. Sending hugs x
