Don’t know how to react

I am looking for an advice, my daughter 15 years old has one one good friend but they always have little fights because according to my daughter her friend say things or acts the certain way that makes her feel bad so yesterday I got a text from her friend saying that she need a break and wanted you to let me know because she knows my daughter will get very emotional so yes it happened now she doesn’t want to go school and I understand her friend my daughter tends to be too much sometimes she cry for very little things and she likes things certain way and she talks a lot about things that not always are interesting and u say I am not interested and she keep going I try to correct it many times hasn’t worked don’t know what else to do she said is her only friend and I feel like she will take any one at this point just to not be alone 😫I am afraid will be like that with relationships and ending getting treated so bad because of this

Show your support

It’s tough seeing her struggle, but it’s important to validate her feelings and remind her that friendships need space and balance. Encourage her to focus on other interests and build confidence outside of just this one friendship. Help her understand that healthy relationships are built on respect and communication, and with your support, she’ll learn how to navigate these situations better.

@Sumyya I appreciate your response I did talk to her about it and say about respect and boundaries we talked about this very often because she has come home complaining about having issues with this friend but she has such a hard time understanding I explained to her but then she feels alone and she said better have someone like that that not having any And believe me that is not what she sees at home my husband and I show respect to each other and almost never fight and he talk to her about it I talk to her about it but she still not getting it 🤷🏻‍♀️😣

It sounds like you’ve done so much already, and I can see how hard you’re trying to help her ❤️. Sometimes it takes time and a bit of experience for these things to really click, especially at her age. Just keep reassuring her that she’s loved and deserves friendships that feel good 💕. It’s a tough phase, but with your support and patience, she’ll figure it out 🌟.

@Sumyya I pray she will is so hard seeing her suffering this way but I know as much I wanted to prevent any pain to her she has to learn how to manage any bad rocks that life throws at her I made some of her favorite food yesterday and make sure this morning before school that she had breakfast and took her medication and give her some love and I tell her we love you and we are here for you keep going (she didn’t want to go school complaining about headaches and that her stomach was hurting as well I give her some medicine and I said you can’t stop because of other stay strong you got this 💪)

You’re both doing an incredible job supporting her through this tough time. The love, care, and strength you’re showing will make a huge difference for her. Praying she feels better soon—she’s lucky to have such amazing parents by her side. Stay strong, you’ve got this! 💕

Is there maybe an audio book that she can listen too that may be of value to her. Help her understand that friendships come and go, don't always last etc....?
