My 2nd thread and hope to get some advice. My daughter turning 17 in a month has major depression is on medication and seeing a pyscologist. My issue atm is with her boyfriends influence and her rudeness. I like the boyfriend who suffers from depression also as they understand each other BUT I'm scared that she relys on him so so much. My DR said let him stay as she got something that makes her happy and stopping suicide thoughts. He has basically moved in. What I'm having a issue with is she listens to only him. He is saying pyscologists aren't helpful didn't help him. I got cranky and said she is staying with hers and you aren't a DR..I NEVER get 2 mins of her time they r joined at the hip. I do remember what young love is like but her rudeness and anger is always directed at her family only.. i have tried talking to her but she yells and says i hate him etc. I try to advise her don't lose your friends they r important. I'm on eggshells as is my mum and sister as we don't know when she will explode. Any advice appreciated thanks.

Hi there,

Alot better thanks. I have backed away am hitting the gym feeling more positive. My daughter came to me apologised for being mean and sobbed for 10min whilst i held her and also cried. We are heading back to the DRs as she said her meds aren't helping. I thought they were at first but now she is having crying episodes weekly. Change of meds required. I explained it hard for me also but i am always herefor her but won't accept her rudeness. I'm trying to get her to exercise walk join gym etc. Baby steps as she has lost interest in her health.

Thanks fir asking.😊
