I have a 16 year old daughter, turning 17 in November.
We lost her dad suddenly coming up 6 years ago, she was only 10 at the time, but it didn't really hit her until years later. We have recently moved out of area I had to down size, so new school new area, in year 11, she settled in well, with a few bullying issues which were delt with, I went to the school straight away. She was always feeling sick and weak, finally got the answer low Iron deficiency so had an iron infusion which she felt really good, but now she sleeps all day, doesn't eat until dinner, yells at me when I tell her to get out of bed and go online for school, hates school doesn't want to be at school, so now wants to leave, not a good time with covid 19, no jobs, no tafe all online atm.
She has self harmed 2 times that I have noticed, if I tell her she cant go out or do something she does that. She is angry all the time, I am thinking it might be depression, she stresses out so much if I mention school, and now its worse because of isolation,
I have a partner and he doesn't tell her want to do, as he tries to keep the piece, he has 3 kids of his own, 20, 18 and a 16 year old girl which they get on very well like sisters which is good. We have them every 2nd weekend.
My partner hates the way she talks to me, and then I rebel sometimes and think he is picking, so probably not a good thing.
She was such a nice girl growing up and she can be a lovely girl, but just so angry atm.
Any advice.
