Some people have no idea how good they have it

My bf has a great co-parenting relationship with his ex and despite his daughter’s challenges, she has a lot of love and support. I, on the other hand, have nobody. I have a difficult teenager with ADHD, anxiety, depression and I just cannot seem to help her. No one is supportive. Her dad is absent and my bf just doesn’t understand. He doesn’t realize how much support he has. I have 0. It is soooooo difficult and I feel so defeated.

@countrypastor Mom of teens here.
Have you considered individual therapy for her and/or family therapy with just you 2x?

Teen group therapy can be beneficial, too.

@countrypastor You aren't gonna want to hear this but dump the bf. He's gotta understand the you and your daughter are a package deal. If he can't handle this on a voluntary basis he's really gonna be out of his depth if you pursue something more. I had a family member with a young son who remarried, and I've rarely been more angry that when I heard him say "I married you, not your kid". Families don't pick and choose members.
