[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 918045, member: 43498"] I think that's a good idea, from Bebo, to try and get her to delay making a decision to leave. Your daughter sounds very much like my friend's daughter, who is the same age. She has a history of self harm and suicidal thinking and behaviour, and not sticking at jobs. Really, the mental illness is the most important issue for her. She needs to just settle down and work on getting treatment then taking baby steps with part time low-stress work, with the goal of staying in the job for more than 5 minutes. Perhaps something similar could work for your daughter. I can really empathise with how you are feeling, as I have watched my friend struggle, watching her daughter go through cycles of starting a job, finding it is too much for her, quitting, getting depressed, then doing it all again. It must be so draining for you. I wonder if some sort of counselling would be helpful for you. As hard as it sounds, your daughter may need to learn the hard way that we just have to get on and work and stick at it. Maybe not in this job but in whatever job she takes on. [/QUOTE]
