I know my daughter is an adult but I lie awake at night worrying about her, she is 30, lives at home with me and is so depressed. She recently got back with her first love who had a child with another woman, my daughter gave up her £40,000 a year job to relocate up north to be with him.
He cruelly dumped her on Christmas Day saying his ex would not allow him to see his child if he was with another woman and he couldn’t risk not seeing his child, but I do wonder if he was using the child as an excuse.
My daughter is now saying her life is not worth living, she is jobless, living with her mother at 30 years old, she has no children but would be an amazing mum as she is very kind and caring and doesn’t want to go on if the next ten years are the same as the last ten years.
Nothing ever seems to go right for her and I am due back at work next week and I’m terrified she will end her life.
All her friends are married with children and don’t really bother with her now expect for 2 gay male friends who are very supportive, she says she is 10 years behind all her friends.
Am I wrong to be so concerned, all I’ve done is cry this Christmas, she really thought her life was finally working out and she is now even worse off with no job.
Has anyone got any advice as to how I can help her?
