When she was 15, she was dumped by a boyfriend. He ditched her for a girl who for some reason tried to beat her up at school.
My daughter got really upset and tried to kill herself. When I took her to the hospital ER, they sent her to the psychiatric unit at a nearby hospital for counseling and we found out she had been cutting herself up.
That was over 4 yrs ago, and now I would like for her to move on with her life. She is 19 and tells people she has psychiatric problems and she cannot get a job, go into the military, almost not able to get a drivers license because she keeps telling people she is a psycho, almost like she thinks its cool.
She has serious maturity issues and about drives me nuts. How can I get her to knock it off? I want her to get full time employment, go into the navy or do something besides what she is doing which is sitting home all day, reading poetry and being goofey acting.
