I've been in counseling for two years, i am a full time college student. so i am functional... the counseling isnt helping much.

And kudos to you for working on your parenting!
Gentle hugs and compassion,

You don't say how old your daughter is.
Childish whining cuts me to the quick, even now that my sons are adults. It yanks at every one of the spots where I want to whine for myself and can't afford to give in to it. I don't believe I have any great advice for you. Just do the best you can and forgive yourself for being merely human. Keep sharing.
Gentle hopes.
