Two daughters

English is not my mother tongue so excuse me if I will make a lot of mistakes.I have two daughters 21 and 15 the elder was allways jealous of the younger for her being more succsefull in every aspect of her life.Tried a few times between age 6 to 14 to beat the little one so badly that allmoust killed her.We went counceling but didn t helped.For a few years things got better, not so much violence, but the anger still remained.Now the elder one changed tactics,she is the best friend of the younger one,encourages the other to be independent ,supports every wrong decision she makes and managed to build a partnership against me> saying I have no saying in their decisions,I must keep out of their life,can t speak to them,I must respect their intimacy,if not they will suicide because I am a bad mother who allways talks too much.For several days now they won t speak to me. What scares me most is that the elder one is advising the younger one about effective suicide methods(she is a medecine student)and implying that this kind of life doesn t worth living.What should I do?

" Looks like your older daughter might be playing head games with you to keep you all upset.

This could be serious or it might not be. I wouldn't let this go any further, and put a stop to it. "

" Wow. I wish I had some advice, but I'm kind of at a loss here. Can you talk to the 15 year old when the elder isn't around and try to get her to see what is happening? Is she still counseling? If so, let the therapist know what is going on. Good luck with it all. "
