How can I help my daughter?

Question

My daughter is a freshman at college. She has had a lot of problems her first semester.

First she moved into Lion Hall with a friend of her's. The friend moved out two days later because she hated it at the college. Then my daughter got stuck living with a jehova witness who had my daughter so upset my daughter had to move out!

My daughter moved into Bear hall and they told my daughter she would have to move next semester because the girl's roommmate would be coming back! 2 weeks later the girl's roommmate came back so my daughter had to move to another dorm.

My daughter then moved to Gator Hall where she made such a big stink she manged to get her own room ONLY for this semester.

She has a friend who is transfering into her college next semester and wants to live with her but is refusing to live in Gator because the furniture in gator is not movable. My daughter also discovered that her friend and the girl next door have a lot of "bad history" together!!

How can I help!!?

Answer 1

Perhaps the daughter in question might receive the most help by recognizing and working to overcome her religious intolerance.

Answer 2

I think the best way you can help is to just be some stability for her. She's probably feeling like she doesn't fit in with those girls at school, so the best thing you can do is love and accept her. Just listen when she needs it, but mostly assure her that she's a great girl.

If you spot behavioral problems... like maybe she's messy, or inconsiderate of others, or has hygiene problems... maybe mention those to her as things that she might not want to do at college because of the roommate situation. Sometimes the best thing our moms can do is just be honest with us when no one else will.

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

help her by letting her work it out by herself

Answer 4

Try a different college. She has worn out her welcome there.
