DD graduated from university last year and started work at a large accounting firm in November 21. She has ADHD, diagnosed. Such an intelligent girl, social so is fantastic at work.
She moved out, lives with her boyfriend now but called me last night in a flood of tears. She has felt very overwhelmed at work, wants to quit, says she hasn’t done any proper work in months. She’s been ignoring work’s emails and calls - this is a small industry, word gets around quick. I am tearing my hair out. She’s 22. At what point do I get involved? I just want to HELP, but at the same time this is the result of burying her head in the sand. I’ve tried to tell her to just speak to them but she’s frozen in fear. I don’t know what to do, she says she will just ignore them until they fire her. But she can’t do that. As parents of adult children, at what point do we intervene? We can only advise but in situations like these, what is the best approach? I’ve never worked an office job.
