So been almost a year since I posted on her and yet again I'm here for some advice. My now dd is 16 changed massively of late after lots of issues and friendship problems here we are a much much nicer person. There is light at the end of the tunnel for those of you that are just starting out in the hell of teenage hood. So fast forward and dd has a boyfriend reasonably nice boy year younger than her they have been inseparable for almost a year. She has no friends to speak of mainly her choice as she realised that she cant trust friends and wanted to try and scrape an education for her exams. However this has now made her needy and things are really beginning to become more apparent with the bf. I did think they were spending to much time together and of course I was ignored. Now he has said same thing and suggested they didn't see each other for 2 days. Wasnt taken well by dd. She accepted it but now still needy as ever and it looks to me that he not that keen anymore and can see him dumping her and very soon. Tried talking to her she cant see it and wont have. I've tried being brutal and she still cant see it. Any advice anyone can offer I will take I desperately dont want her set back by what's clearly coming. Help

Just be there for her, whatever the outcome. Don't comment, agree he's a dick (if she thinks he is) or just soothe if she thinks her world has come crashing down around her.

Try to take her out, go to pictures, bit of shopping at the weekend, be her friend for a little while whilst she finds her feet again.

Keep making conversations on looking forward to the next stage of her life after exams, college etc, new friends, new experiences. I wouldn't mention anything more about if her and BF will be together or not tho. Just focus on the positives of life without it being a sit down and having a "talk" kind of way
