There’s nothing more heartbreaking than seeing your child hurt and upset . I agree that your DD would benefit from counselling and that no matter what you say or do it won’t actually help and constantly repeating yourself will only end up upsetting you because you get frustrated and hurt that you can’t solve their problems . I had a similar situation with my DD whos 24 she came back from travelling had a string of disastrous boyfriends and ended up anxious and having panic attacks . No matter what I said I couldn’t break through , she was lucky she got referred for counselling by a nurse when she went to get her coil checked the nurse picked up her anxiety . I don’t the nhs offer much counselling but I’m sure her GP would point you in the right direction . My daughter has taken the active step of not dating at the moment she has come off all dating apps and is concentrating on her self . She is a much stronger and happier girl without a man in life . Sadly I don’t think it’s just your daughters clingy ness that’s the problem I think it’s societies flippant attitude towards relationships especially with dating apps and online dating . I wish you both well x
