Daughter is going through a tough time...

[Saffy101]

She has split with her partner of 9 years, they have a young child. She is with me at the moment and has improved alot emotionally but tends to take her anger out on me which I am finding tough. She wants help with her child and then doesn't feel I am "doing it" correctly, that I am being too strict/firm.

Earlier we were driving somewhere along a country road, there was a white line, when she wandered totally onto the wrong side, a big van came toward us. I had time to say.... DD you are on the wrong side of the road, before she swerved back just in time. Her child was in the back and no I don't think she was trying to kill us but she nearly did.

She hasn't spoken about it since and this isn't a good time, I won't bring it up but I am very jittery still now. But I wonder...why? She is on anti depressants and I wonder has she upped them without seeing a GP?

Firstly, I'm sorry our DD is going through this.
But... you need to put some boundaries in place.
She is living with you and you are helping.
She cannot take her anger out on you. Don't allow that.
You need to tackle the driving incident. It will never be a good time.
Not sure why increased Anti-D's would cause her to be on the wrong side of the road?
They can make you drowsy so you need to discuss with her when she is taking them. If in the morning then she should switch to evenings.
Is she seeing a therapist?

Are you saying op you suspect she was on the wrong side intentionally to potentially cause harm to her and others?

Thanks for the reply hellsbells.

I have put in boundaries, or did a while back, she went totally ape and didn't speak for a week, left at great speed in the car etc. A bit better since.... But a relapse now she is getting a house. I don't want to try that again as she has her child with her most of the time.

She won't see anyone, have tried, it makes her angry, she says/thinks I am trying to control her/the situation. She takes the pills at night mostly but today took them in morning, which I think may be the cause.

Scared the cr*p out of me.

It helped - just to tell someone and get a response......thank you.

No Bluntness, I think she drifted across but fairly quickly and I don't quite know why, I think she lost concentration completely.
