I am heart broken...a desperate mom in need of peace and assurance over my 15 yr old, who is facing time. She has already been through so much, losing her father a little over a year ago, and she is so rebellious and angry towards life...and I am her punching bag....so to speak....I am all she has left in the world, besides her friends which are into gangs and drugs etc...and I try to tell her being so cool to fit in isn't what true friendship is about...I tell her a friend listens to what you say, and a best friend listens to what you don't say...I have tried to be her best friend, and the mom left out the rules...to keep her happy and accepted...and now she can be taken from me....and I am devastated...because of the anger and abandonment of her father...I loved her and think I did the best I could, considering I never knew what a mom should be like....I am so hurt and feel soi guilty...that I don't know how to fix her pain...so i eternalize it...and keep it all to myself...like I always have....please pray that the court thing goes well and counseling can be an option for us both...I have never been to counseling but willing to do whatever it takes to help her....
