She got one close friend and the group that my dd is normally in, are being off with her. She and her close friend doesn't know why, but that plays her emotions on alot of things.. Like bottle things up, tired, etc. I've tried to get her to join a club to do a hobby but she won't do it as not interested.
Atm she just joined the DoE, she is volunteering once a week in the cinema and will be doing other things along with the DoE. She said it's OK.
I find everytime we have an argument for the past 3 yrs, its the same argument... It's problems with lack of friends (she used to have plenty of friends before she started the high school but she brushed every one of them off! She said she didn't like them), me not paying attention to her (I've got two younger kids to look after as well so I don't treat her any different than them). We do have a girly time cinema, Costa, etc. This time she is doing her gcses, she is in the top set of everything. (maybe she is struggling with too much homework, I've told her to talk to her teacher and we will go from there, but I know she won't cos she doesnt like letting herself down).
She been self harming for 2 yrs now, on and off, waiting for Cahms to get back in touch (she already being for the introduction back in July).
My dd is very bright and very clever but when she hold everything in... She explode and then tries to put the blame on me. I said I'm not there to know what's happening with your friends.... But she knows she can join a club to make new friends but she not interested. I can't win!!!
Please say I'm not the only one who is going through this???????
