Abusive Relationships - 14 year old daughter


Expert: Francis Hosein - 2/11/2008

Question
I could write pages and pages because my daughters life seems to be more dramatic then I can even keep up with. First things first. How do I help her get out of a controlling relationship with her boyfriend? He has tried suicide and blames her. I don't know what to do. I have tried to talk reason with her. I have went to the school but they won't do anything. Do you have any advice to help me help her see that he isn't right for her and that she can't save him from his own personal issues. I am truely starting to worry about her own mental health. Between the relationship she has with her dad and now this boy I am afraid for her.

Answer
Hi Carrie, the relationship your daughter has with her boyfriend did not start with her boyfriend it is what she knows.

One of her parent may have this same tendency of creating drama in their life.

Your daughter is into drama because it helps her feel important and that she is useful in helping another to change.

It helps her not to focus on her problems and focus on another.

To help your daughter is to help her to see a different family life style.

To have no drama around her, create boundaries for her to follow.

To help her to feel important without having difficulties in her life.

To support her, encourage her, to focus on the good things that is going right and less on that is wrong.

Spent time with your daughter and do more praising and less on her difficulties.

Your daughter is more adult now and you need to trust in the teaching that you give her, in other words let go, and trust you did a good job.

Don't worry about her boyfriend it is temporary.
