[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an empath and this scares me to say it and also makes me incredibly sad- but I feel like I’m at the point where I am feeling a strong desire to just stop caring about her as my daughter. I want to treat her as just another human being with issues I cannot really help anymore. I feel like she’s toxic to me and to the family and I need to start focusing on the people who actually care. She has taken up so much of our emotional and mental and physical time and even space bandwidth (because she literally leaves a path of mess wherever she goes). And if she were willing to ever meet us 10 percent of the way, I’d feel it would be worthwhile to try, but she has refused to make any effort.

And I honestly feel like if I stopped caring, she really would not even care one way or the other. She will just use that to demonize me. She literally does not care at all about anyone or anything. I also feel pretty confident that she would never even shed a tear if I died tomorrow. She has said so many times and for all these years I didn’t believe her, but I realize now she actually means it. She says that when she is perfectly happy and calm as a matter of fact- it’s not something just said out of anger.

All the family members, teachers, friends who have been so generous with their time, money, and thoughtfulness with her- she has said she doesn’t care about any of them and she doesn’t need them or want to spend any time with them or see them, let alone be a friend or thoughtful person towards them.

She is self-centered and literally cannot see past her own desires.[/quote]

Your child is expressing suicidal ideation. This response is totally inadequate to the situation. What does your therapist suggest?[/quote]
