A father have a 14 year old daughter. His daughter has been constantly sad since age 13. She cries and the father doesn't know why is she this way. He is always concerned. Lately, he is too frustrated to leave the house without his daughter. He have to put her in first place in everything. He is concerned that something is going on in his daughter's life. He gives in to her daughter when he shouldn't. For instance, he wants to move the whole family to another city and the daughter say no and he listen to her. Also, he allow her to watch tv until 12am on Saturday nights, which he never did before. He says "I'm frustrated & don't know what to do." She is not a rebellious teenager & never been in trouble. The thing is she is constantly sad & crying. Her father don't know what is going on and is very concerned. But why do fathers listen to their kids like that because of this?

Well, even if she's sad or depressed, she still needs boundaries and rules.
So he should quit 'babying' her and giving her everything she wants. That's obviously not helping anything.
Then he needs to address her emotional issues by sending her to a counsellor. It sounds like she's at home too much too. He might like to put her in some activities outside the house to encourage her to interact with others and make some new friends.
He might also do a drug test to make sure she's not involved with drugs.

She sounds like a smart girl .. I say a very spoiled girl who loves all the attentions .. she is afraid to lose all of her father's attention when things changed .. She enjoyed being pampering being sad and crying .. to make the father over do his authorities with her and etc .. some girls like to acts out when she knows shes losing her privioldges .. im not sure wheres the mother's role is .. but nothing is wrong ... just attention and pampering in spoiling to have everything in her way .. the more she tries and will success more eventually .. i have seen this before ..
What more can be worse, if the father found a new girlfriend .. What will her reaction be?? she is surely a clever girl!

Most fathers will do anything that their "little girl" wants... Unfortunately, it sounds like that may not be the best thing in this case. The 14 year old totally needs to be checked into counseling with a licensed professional where she can say whatever she wants and know that what she says is completely confidential. This girl needs major help.

There is something that the daughter is not telling her father either because she is afraid of him or of what he might do. Then there is the question that something else is going on that should not be happening and the daughter is just too afraid to tell her father whatever the case may be. If it is something that is that serouis she needs to tell someone about it may not be her father but somebody.

Your daughter has genuinely confirmed resilience and a will to win in spite such stressful lodging. Now it's time to guy up and do your bit for her. yet whilst/once you do, you may desire to! additionally take son. you won't be able to instruct favoritism right here or you will injure the two young ones irreparably. you understand this already, of direction.

The child is in serious trouble. You describe a young person in grip of deep and acute depression. You also describe symptoms of a child who may have been sexually abused - and possibly by her father.
Whoever this is needs to get help immediately.

He is concerened and he should be. Sometimes for no reason, or maybe alot of reasons you feel down, and you cant get your self back up. Growing up is hard and your body does alot of changing. She should be on an antidepressent for about 8 months to 1 year. It worked for me

because of their soft spot. it's his daughter so it's understandable. but he needs to take her to a therapist to get help cuz she sounds like she has some issues that need to be worked out. not only that, but extremely spoilt and selfish and is taking advantage of her father's kindess by using her 'depression' as an excuse.

UHHH because hes her parent! No parent wants to see their child sad and they all chose different ways to respond and just because his way isnt your way dosent mean he is wrong. But I suggest he does get a counselor too. He should force her to go if she continues to refuse to tell anyone whats really going on. :)
