I'm sorry you're having a particularly bad day today. Hang in there and, please, take care of yourself. You're important, all by yourself, as a person, not just as a mom to your daughter.

I just can't help but worry about your well-being in this dreadful situation. You. Worried about you, not just your daughter. Naturally, my thoughts are with your girl and I'm hoping she will stay safe and make good decisions. And my thoughts are with you as you wrestle with not knowing why she left, why she's angry and why she's not talking to you. And what her relationship is with this adult coach woman.

I left home at 18, my mother reacted badly and the worse she reacted the more I clammed up, except to argue when she verbally chastised me. I was not mature enough to talk about my feelings to her or to anyone at that age. I didn't get into trouble or have sex or do drugs or anything scandalous or illegal. I just went to school, worked and lived on my own. It drove my poor mother around the bend. I didn't understand then why she was making such a big deal out of it. I'm sorry now that I hurt her. At the time, I just wanted my own life. It wasn't to hurt anyone. I just wanted freedom and at 18, actually 18.5, I grabbed it.

Take care, Lost. Your health and well-being are important.
Hugs from:
lost!
Thanks for this!
