random chat anyone?

nope as far as i know. she rang me last night too by the way. but anyway, last time we spoke a month ago, she meantioned getting therapy and then rang the next day saying she didnt want to. she did that the first time. i do think shes looking at it as we shouldnt rely on each other as much as we did. but i guess, if i want to be critical, it doesnt mean my daughter should miss out and also if someone struggles, doesnt mean you should ignore it. or be alittle harsh.

At times it is hard to reach out, I am talking from experience but it took me years to ask for help. Hopefully she will go to therapy as I think it will help her a lot.
 
well without like revealing everything, her family are quite lacking in understanding. the irony is they don't really help her with out with child and when she tells them shes not doing ok, they say, get better or work out what to do, when she speak to me, i try to listen and tell her first shes a great parent, and maybe try this as advice? it might make sense that she doesnt really respond always kindly to my struggles. she was brought up that way and is still treat like that.
