Re: Having struggles with my 13yr old daughter

Hey @Moloko the members don't direct message one another, I know this can be frustrating - it is for safety reasons and to keep everything anonymous. Are you ok at the moment? I am happy to touch in with you via e-mail to check in? Let me know. Heart

Anger can be depression.
Practice really listening to your daughter. With no judgement or interruptions. Just listen and let her ventilate.
Be there for her. She will heal if you just listen.
