Hi, so coming to end of a 10 day holiday. Saved for two years for it. 12 yr DD spent whole time glued to her phone, bickering with her sister, bored and just so negative. I have cried, I've stayed calm I've shouted. I didn't see how negative she has been coming. She does have social issues and struggles to make friends. She has also been found today to be putting comments on a social media platform about how awful her holiday is, swearing and giving away personal information about herself. I just don't know what to do to support her anymore. Her dad and I are divorced. She has had a good 1st year in secondary school, which I was very worried about due to her social issues. She refuses to discuss periods, bras or anything related to growing up. Yet we need to be discussing these things. I'm devastated to find her seemingly so unhappy and so negative about our holiday. Every day has contained a drama or other centred around her. Please help.
