My DD was in a toxic relationship, broke up, got back together again, broke up - she's now desperate to get him back again. (They are 15). Her behaviour towards me has changed - she swears at me, any request to tidy bedroom etc is met with attitude. She puts me down in front of her friends. I do know that all of this is 'normal' teenage behaviour but I'm really struggling and would appreciate some words of support/advice. We're at the point now where we're not even talking. She is constantly attached to her phone and is now talking about wanting to live somewhere else. I know she's hitting where it hurts and hope that this phase will pass. Just mentally worn down with the battles. Sorry for the rant.

My son did this, it was 4 months in hell. When they finally broke up, he was back to his lazy self. Dont know why he was like this, besides he was in pain and i was a place he could react. New girlfriend now, he is still himself. But it was 4 months in pure hell. No advice, but you are not alone. It will pass..
