Hi @Jaybird7890
I want to start by thanking you for your post and welcoming you to the online parent forum
This is a safe place to share and feel supported and I want you to know that the community is here for you. I also want you to be proud of yourself for sharing what has been happening for you recently, it can be a really challenging thing to do to share these experiences, especially when they relate to a loved one.
From what I have read I can see that your partner may be going through a hard time at the moment, and that’s ok. I can also see that you care deeply for them and their well-being, and that’s amazing to see.
am curious to know if your partner has any other support right now, besides yourself, this can be other family members or friends, or it may be professional help such as a GP or counsellor?
I am also curious as to how your partner feels in relation to his daughter’s refusal to speak to him and her list of needs? I wanted to provide you with a collection of articles Reachout has on communicating with your teen which you may find useful.
I am mindful of how you may be feeling about what’s been happening with your partner, from what I have read I can see that your partner hasn’t been 100% themselves lately and I’m wondering how that might be affecting you and your wellbeing?
When the people we love are going through hard times, we often want to support them as much as possible, which can be really beautiful and supportive to see. However, we often neglect our own boundaries and well-being, losing sight of looking after ourselves. By prioritising our own well-being we can be sure we are always there for the ones we love.
Again, I want to thank you for sharing your experiences on the community forum, and please don’t be afraid to reach out to other supports you need. The community is here for you
It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
