Hi doctor,
My name is AAAA writing from Dubai now. I have some doubts and clarifications regarding my daughter who is 17 year old and now studying in Kerala , India in 11 grade.. She is in Convent school hostel now and she is not interested in studies at all. I have two daughters and I brought them up alone as i am separated from my husband from 2001 to 2010.(He was in Muscat at that time and went with some lady means he has some other relations. Because of her behaviour ,I thought of briging him back as per his brothers' request if he can live as a family . But again he is leading the old life with many other relations.now he is not with us) She is very much addicted to mobile phones and internet even though i have restricted these 2 upto certain level. she used chat with unknown males in my absence and she is saying they are her friends. I tried my maximum to make her understand the meaning of friends and also the problems of such behaviour. Now whenever I spoke to her in the hostel over phone she is complainig that she cannot continue in the hostel and I know it is because of that strict not having access to internet and mobile. now the way she behaves is creating a lot of problems to me .she used to scribble something daily in her dairy and it is like she is living in fantasy world with her friend. She used to tell other children and warden that she used to go out with him etc which was not happened. the person she is talking about is not even seen her earlier. Earlier two years back i tried to consult a phycologists with her, she came one day and she didnt come for second time. I would be gateful if you can suggest some possible way how to take her to a normal life.
Many Thanks,
AAAAA
