My DD is finding things incredibly tough at the moment. I have spoke (with her there) to both her school and the doctors. She's getting a lot of pressure from school but is doing well.
At first we thought it was down to school work but now I get the feeling it's us.
She says that we and everyone else doesn't care about her, that we don't want her, that we should just bother with our S. Thinks that we are always ignoring or angry at her. (I have shouted a few times after slammed doors).
My OH doesn't know how to help as he thinks that it's all aimed at him. (She often ignores him and belittles him as he does a manual job and didn't leave school with many qualifications)
School have offered both mentoring and a councillor, but it's my Ds choice and she's point blank said no.
We cut our last holiday short as she wasn't happy and didn't want to be there.
I don't know if I'm being to soft with her, even when she is rude and pushes me away. She says her friends families aren't like this.
Can anyone give me any advice, I'm hoping that she will soon come out the other side, as I don't know if I can keep going.
