Its hard dealing with emotions like that, Just give her support. You could ask her what the pic mean to her? remember kids need to connect Good idea to show T your a good mom I know that feeling of wanting to scream at a childs pain......cause what they feel you do...... |

Is it possible she trying to test you? I don't know but sometimes teenagers do that....test you to see if you continue to support them or back out. Maybe she is wanting reassurance? Just a thought, but probably completely wrong! But i am sorry you have had to see how much pain your daughter is in, but i think it is also amazing that at 14yrs she is so open with you and let you into such an intimate part of her life, i don't think i could have done that! You must be a wonderful supportive mother.

Hi Katheryn
I agree with what Abby says, you must have a wonderful relationship for you're daughter to be able to confide in you like that. I have a teenage son and I know there have been a few times when he's been in a similar situation to your daughter, I think some of it has to do with beginning to change from a child to an adult, their thinking patterns change and at times they find it difficult to understand what's going on with themselves, my son did tell me once that he remembered starting to look at the world differently, through older eyes and he found that very confusing and he wasn't sure exactly how to relay his fears at the time. I do remember death being mentioned a few times. Your daughter is very lucky to have a caring mum like you, a mum who listens and cares is one in a million, I guess all anyone can do is just to be there for them when they need it. I hope some of this makes sense, I'm not very good with my words today lol |

thank you for the replies, it is hard reading her words as they trigger me but i also think some of her behaviour is to see if she can shock me and seee how far she can go, sometimes the words that come out of her mouth are quite shocking and like any parent tell her not to talk like that, then there is giving me this book to look at knowing she has written some deep dark thoughts in it, and questions on things that couples get up to,
again thank you for the replies

just be grateful she is confiding in u. most teens won't. i also agree that maybe she is testing whether or not u will still love her if u see the side of her that is truly hurting. just have patience and make her see that no matter what u will always be with her to help wade thru the problems.
