[quote=Anonymous]Maybe a conversation with your daughter about stress: everyone has stresses but what stresses me may not stress you. It's not a competition, so don't compare. Or, just be supportive by listening but don't engage. Or, teach her to set some boundaries: if friend is stuck in negativity, daughter can change the conversation or tell friend she has to get off the phone. Setting boundaries to maintain her own emotional health may be something she could work on with her therapist -- it's a great life skill to have. And best wishes to you and your daughter! You sound like you've come a long way together.[/quote]
