I’m so sorry. Parenting is not easy. Even on a simple day, taking care of kids is filled with challenges. The concern I can read in your post shows me you are a good parent. Don’t doubt yourself. I’m so sorry for what you are going through!

oh my gosh this breaks my heart for you momma <hugs> I'm so so sorry she's struggling, I send you all the love and hugs and prayers I can, that this too shall pass. I pray she gets the help that she needs and one day you both look back at these times as something you overcame.

I feel for you. I was n that situation 6 yrs ago. We all came through it, but it took years off my life. So there is hope at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there.

SallyPA : Please let us know when you're able, about your DDs status. We're praying for her. To the other moms here who have gone thru this horrible nightmare, hugs to you. I've been there too and you live your life waiting for "that call". It does take years off of your own life. I pray that each one of you has safety with your children & that they have a plan to help them the best. It's all they could do (have a plan, make sobriety the utmost of importance, be on that good path & be honest.)

Drugs. I can barely breath. In the ER with my child. She is safe but she is mentally ill and hates me with every fiber in her being right now. I did everything right. I can’t believe this is my cute pig tailed baby girl. I just needed to say it in a safe place. Change ‘girl’ to ‘boy’ and I could have written this post.

Sounds like you intervened at the right time. And kudos to you for already having a support team to help her. If it gets difficult for you, don't be afraid to seek out your own therapist. It helps.

So glad to hear that you have a much better idea of what’s going on and how to address it. I’m sure you will do everything in your power to help her through this. Hopefully she can find new ways to cope with the stress and anxiety that she’s feeling. I wish the best for you both.

My friends son had a breakdown now been attributed to using the strong tobacco vaping cartridges. Just mentioning in case it’s relevant in your daughters case. Kids don’t realize how much of this stimulant they’re taking in when vaping vs smoking.

Thanks for the update. I can say this from experience, your DD can take her time with it all. She can go part time, community college with therapy, whatever is best. Whatever works for her.

Thanks for the update. Becoming an adult is rough, I have 2 girls this age. I hope you get to listen to that shitty music for a long time, since the alternative is her not bring home to play it.

That’s a pretty encouraging update, now that everything is out on the table. She doesn’t have to carry her burden all alone. Covid has so many lives off course. She is not in a place to realize this is a blip in her life not the whole story.
It sounds like you have a good foundation in place to help her cope. Take good care of yourself too.

I’m so happy to read your update. Much luck to you both in the coming days and years. I’ve BTDT with my son, but he got his sh*t together and things are much, much better now.

I'm so glad to see an update! I've been worried! Kids have a lot of stress on them these days as it is, now with covid thrown in... I can't imagine. Hang in there - you two will get through this. Big hugs & love!!

Loved reading your OP. Your experience and hers sound like what a lot of parents and teens are navigating with Covid on top of fires, hurricanes and just normal difficult parts of life - like the late HS years.
You're heard and cared about.

Continued thoughts and prayers. When DD was going through years of finding the right therapist/psychologist/psychiatrist/social worker, and we were trying to figure out what was making her so depressed and distraught, we all went to family therapy to best learn how to deal with DD. We were taught some invaluable things that we never would have thought of. We made the house more "safe" for her and began to take her threats of suicide seriously. It was a long road.
I wish you the best. I hope that she gets therapy and possibly gets put on meds if she needs them. Take care of yourself too! That was the time that I began working out just to have my own peace of mind! xo

Are there any virtual support groups... family and for her. Sometimes even though they don't want to talk, they can hear others speak and know they aren't "alone". As for the parent support, it's a great place to vent and be surrounded by those that get it.
