[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my child asks me to get involved, like contacting the school or contacting a friend’s parent, I do so. I don’t like doing it, but I feel like if she specifically asks me to do that and I don’t, that is not being a supportive parent, and she feels like I don’t believe her. Sometimes these situations have gotten contentious, and I always regret involving myself, but if she does not feel like she can trust me to have her back and stand up for her, I think she would stop coming to me with her problems entirely. [/quote] I would definitely stop getting involved. It’s inappropriate and I agree it leads to nothing good. She should not be equating your involvement to being supportive. Time for you to work with her on resetting her expectations and learning how to navigate these issues independently. You can be supportive from the sidelines. [/quote]
