Yes I'm strict with my daughter and I know I have to let her make her own mistakes but she has made a lot already and she's only 13. I think she is acting out because she doesn't get to go roaming the streets with her friends or have boys over. She has done things at 12/13 that I didn't do until I was like 16. And she doesn't care. It breaks my heart that I have lost my girl. </P> Mon, 07 Feb 2022 12:15:12 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/failure-as-a-parent/m-p/23086#M3754 Shesaleo 2022-02-07T12:15:12Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/failure-as-a-parent/m-p/23087#M3755 <P>Hello thanks for reaching out and sharing <BR /> <BR /> That's good that you have allowed her to make choices for herself but also set some good boundaries <BR /> this is a very hard situation to manage as no matter what you do she will try and defy you<BR /> Have you spoken about this to close family of friends?<BR /> Please reach out to us if you need some over the phone support and maybe see if your daughter would like to see her school counsellor?</P> <P>I hope this helps</P> Mon, 07 Feb 2022 22:27:38 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/anxiety/failure-as-a-parent/m-p/23087#M3755 HappyHelper88 2022-02-07T22:27:38Z
