Unrealistic expectations

i h a 17 year old daughter who will not listen to guidance or suggestions for what her plans are post HS (she’s going into sEinor year)

she went from. saying she wants to “live in the woods “ now it’s she wants to “backpack solo”

I understand college may not be her thing but she’s living in some fantasy land and anytime I suggest looking at college, or other schools she shows no interest.

Guidance counselor at her school has been of minimal help…any suggestions??

A year later checking in

I used to post here almost weekly. I saved a post where I had finally Decdied to divorce my severely alcoholic narcissistic husband after holding onto false hope for so long.
I won’t get into the extent of lies, manipulation, emotional damage he did to myself

the hospitals, rehabs, drunk driving, you guys all know the story

it’s been a year free from him, it’s been a slow process to recover but I respect myself again, I don’t live in fear, in cognitive dissonance. I have been at peace, from the stability in my home, to growing in my faith

just Wanted to thank those who spoke the truth to me here, you helped me when no one else understood

grateful for this community
