So, my idea of posting more often kinda got squashed early on.posting on this blog was one of the last things on my mind. If you have been reading here I am sure that you have seen the post about the problems I am going through with my daughter. I won’t spend a lot of time going over what has happened. I will tell you that my daughter has basically not been here since Xmas and I am not sure that I will ever see her again. She has been reported as a runaway. I had her with me 3 times since Xmas and all the times she has runaway within hours.
I am hurt beyond words by what is going on and the lies that both her and my family are telling. This is not something new for my family.they all have their own issues and even though I try my best to stay away from them all and not talk to any of them they have some special vengeance to take out on me.
I have been in contact with the police, the court system, in front of a judge and talked with several social workers and they all point me to someone else. My daughter has been to counseling but that did not get us anywhere…and before she left at Xmas time things were great at the house..really I was blindsided by the whole situation.
One positive thing that did happen from all this is that a lot of parents who are going through similar type issues with their kids have opened up to me and have shared what they are going through and have offered me support and that means more to me that I can put into words. I guess there is something to be said for being open about things on the internet.
To make another point..there are bad things that being open on the internet can pose and that is when my family bashed me on a local page on Facebook. I could have posted in response to what they were saying but that would have placed more fuel in the fire. It was not worth it to me.at the time my only concern was to make sure my daughter was ok even though there is such little care or concern from her about what I am going through. To be honest my family has been trying to take my daughter from me since she was 3 months old (she just turned 15 on Monday). This is nothing new..I’m kind of use to all the drama.I guess that is what they all live for.
Anyways, I wanted to just give a post to explain why I am not blogging as much as I would like and to let other parents out there know that I understand and I am going through a very difficult time with my teenager.and no.I don’t agree with the “oh, she is a teenager.this is “normal”.get over it bullshit” that is ridiculous and there is no reason for anyone to put up with this! Unfortunately the laws and the court system only give parents so much control and my family and my daughter are trying to work the system in their favor.
I have been stressed too long and I see that I need to take care of myself emotionally and physically and that is what I intend on doing.
