I feel like I have failed. 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.
That's good that you have allowed her to make choices for herself but also set some good boundaries
this is a very hard situation to manage as no matter what you do she will try and defy you
Have you spoken about this to close family of friends?
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?
