Hello everyone, I have thirteen year old daughter and things are so bad tonight not sure what to do next. We've had terrible two and half years, my mum passed away very quickly after battling cancer which hit my girl hard as she thought after her as second mum, then twelve months later her friend was killed in a hit and accident now recently her grandad on her fathers side has also just passed away from having cancer. She' s had so much to deal with but now we are at the point of antics of shouting, saying dreadful things to all of us(we have three other children)it's obvious something needs to change. Tonight she has said she does'nt like us nor does she want to ive with us and I know teenager but what really awfull is that I can she means it. Maybe I've been wrapped up in my own grief for my mum, I really feel a failure that my own child dislikes me enough to not want to be with me and that I cant make her happy or even help. Thanks for listening C x

She needs someone to talk to outside the family. Does your insurance cover family or adolescent counseling? Find someone who has a concentration in grief counseling as well as adolescent issues. Let her know you are there to talk, but don't force it.

Thank you, we've talked tonight and cleared the air about a few things seems one of the biggest problems is that I smoke and she worried Im gonig to get cancer the same as her nan(who never smoked) and grandad. So today I have cut down with the intent to quit. Lots of other things but I think we@ll tackle one thing at a time. Again Thanks x

I have a 13 year old son. as they older they need more one on one time. allow them to talk, dont try to tell them. just listen. be there as the listener always. go to dinner , just the two of you regularly. This gives them that time and they always know its there.
and... be sure to hug once a day. connection is important for strong wings.
