What would you do? as a parent?

Question

you have have 3 children,

Son 19, left home

Daughter 16, depression

Daughter 14, dependant

ok so your son is out of home and isnt around much. then your daughter seems to have depression (never diagnosed) her friends tell you she is harming herself but there are no marks.

you give you eldest daughter all the attention and your youngest feels pushed away. when you youngest starts harming her self and you ask why she says "because i feel like you will only love me if im like my sister" what would you say/do???

Answer 1

You are your own person and you don't need to be like anyone else.  The amount of attention they give you does not determine your worth.

Answer 2

AS a parent I would seek help a.s.a.p....

The family needs to seek counseling together and individually.

It may take a child to carefully bring this up ...but it needs to be done to keep this family together and to stop future patterns...

Answer 3

THERAPY FOR ALL OF YA'LL.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM???????????????????WHERE DID IT START???
