Hello,

I am sorry that I did not come to this site before. It's not surprising that you are feeling depressed, I expect you must feel a bit pushed out. That is the trouble with marriage break ups, it's hard for the kids.

I bet they have no idea about how sad you are feeling. My daughter went through a bad time, similar to what you are going through, and I had no real notion of how bad it was until afterwards.

I think 16 year old girls still need their mums so much, even though they might have a boyfriend and feel grown up in lots of ways, and I guess that is what you are saying. You are not wrong at all for feeling this, I felt like that as well at 16, it is still very young. My daughter told me how much she still needed me, and she is 23 now and still needs me, and I need her too! She no longer lives with me, but she often helps look after her disabled brother, and I really appreciate her.

Of course you need some attention. Do you know, I really hate that phrase "Attention seeker" It's always used in a nasty way. If someone needs some love and attention, why, what is wrong with that? We all need love and affection, it's a basic human need! So you shouldn't feel bad about that at all.

zoompad, you are an angel!!
