Hi I unfortunately have similar problems with my almost 18 year old daughter. The only difference is she is clean and tidy as I refuse to do this for her and she is OCD and would not be able to cope with mess but Other than that she is extremely verbally abusive to me always putting me down and belittling me. She is almost 18 now and like you all I want now is for her to leave home. She has everything she needs here and doesn’t appreciate how lucky she is. Everything she gets she just looks for more and is never happy. Anything that goes wrong on her she always manages to somehow blame me. I always do what I can for her but it’s never enough. She is in her final year at school now and hopes to go to university afterwards and I hate to say it but I can’t wait for that just to have some calm in the house. I like you have had a terrible 2 years with illness and she never seemed to care then either. She stood at my bed in intensive care with very little emotion. She even managed to kick off then and had a tantrum about forgetting her mobile on the bus as if I could do anything about it and me barely conscious. She actually manages to mock me at time’s over it now if I try to discipline her. I am well now but am on medication and have to be reviewed for the next 10 years but she has never once asked me how I am. I really feel your pain but like you I have just lost interest and can’t wait to have my life back again. Best of luck with your girl ... View more
