My lovely dd is 15, and going out with a boy who has just turned 18. She will be 16 at xmas.
I've never really warmed to him, but she's smitten. Spends as much time as
possible with him. She's in yr11, so it's a busy school year. He is at the local college doing A levels.
The other night she was in floods of tears. Told me they'd had an argument becaus she'd said he couldn't come and watch her training. No body goes to that particular evening's training to watch.
Then she told me that he has a short temper.
But she doesn't see this as a problem.
I've been in an abusive relationship or two, and it all starts with a short temper.
She was sulky againg this morning (the sulkiness is new, but I keep reminding myself she's 15 and that's to be expected) while I was taking her to a different training thing. I asked her what's up. She said it's becaus you don't like my bf.
I told her I didn't and I think he's unkind to her, she shouted at me a lot.
I know that telling her she can't see him is going to be counter productive. So how can I make it all ok?
She's not talking to me now.
