Teenage years are tough on everyone.. I think you should try to sit her down and talk to her…make it special maybe see a movie and dinner. Express your concerns and let her know you understand how she’s feeling and that you will support her through it all.

My toddler is two going on thirteen. Whenever she is angry or frustrated with something and takes it out on me I just give her time to cool down. I know it’s not the same thing but sometimes people just need their space.
Maybe give her a blank diary and tell her to write about her day and feelings. Psychologists usually recommend this to help clear the mind.

My daughter is 16yrs old and is processing a split up too. We don’t have a hell of a time with her(they all express themselves differently), but she has been showing symptoms of depression and anxiety. She’s currently receiving some support via Headspace, which is government funded.

I would just show compassion and be there for her and maybe spoil her with a favourite meal and loving gestures. She’s probably heartbroken.

Affairs of the heart in someone not mature enough to even really know about affairs of the heart. All you can do is wait it out

Give her time. Her emotions are probably not meant hurtful towards you but as you are closest to her she will use it to try to push people away. Her anger is just fear that is covered up. Patience is the key but make sure you are not a punching bag.

Just ride it out. Life with teenagers is always a roller coaster ride

A break up is hard at any age, but being 17 she probably feels like the world is ending. Be supportive of her & let her know you are there for her. Don’t take anything she says to heart, she’s emotional & hormonal & these feelings will pass soon enough.
Take her out on a Mum-Daughter day, maybe to a spa or to get a facial & manicure done, something to make her feel nice, & you also.
Talk to her about the break up if she wants to talk, if she doesn’t don’t push it, let her know that you’re there if & when she feels ready to.
Best of luck. It’s not easy being a teenager.

It is good reading the comments and interest to this!

I wish I could give you better advice, but I sought professional help from a social worker to deal with my daughter. I did get some good ideas but also felt like they didn’t fully understand my position.

Just try and be there for her, and don’t react to harsh comments. It’ll pass

How did you get on with your daughter? hoping you had some luck

If she attacks you verbally ask her what her problem is talk to her become her friend someone she can trust

its a hard time to deal with, i hope she has been feeling better

Might be she don’t know how to share her feeling with you. Just need time and more patient to deal with your daughter. Hope everything ok.

she is 17 just ignore her antics and tell her if she cant speak nice then not to speak at all, she wants to be an adult and to start acting like one

i would be honest and tell her her actions are childish and hurtful

Break ups can be hard at any age. Give her some space and let her know you understand. It shouldn’t last much longer than a month or so!

Sit down & talk with her, if she won’t open up to you, I’d suggest a counsellor.

maybe take her to see someone
