[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a DD same age with anxiety and depression. BTDT OP. Your DD has co dependency issues and with the fallout of one relationship is romanticizing the old one. Your DD needs to heal herself, work on her independence, being okay being alone. Don’t cut her off, but ask questions that help her think through the situation in a balanced way, in whatever way gets through to her. My kid had to be hit over the head such that subtle questioning didn’t work. It wasn’t What was positive and what was negative about the past relationship, it was, can I give you some direct input on how i see things, and give you things to think about?……… keep the lines of communication open, and it’s okay to be totally utterly frustrated by her and the circumstance…. Just keep her focused on her future, where is she headed, her degree, where does she see herself, maybe that includes this dude, and maybe its okay if it doesn’t, etc… try to break her out of the circular black and white reasoning.[/quote]
