Little Hands,

Don't beat yourself up. It sounds like you have done everything you can. Single parenting is the pits.

The court system often has more resources to offer troubled teenagers than does the mental health side of things.

One of my students this semester shared with me that she was very angry with her father when she was a teenager. He wound up dying, and it resulted in her being angry so several years, and then things turned around for her.

So there is hope.

I will be praying for you.

Please feel free to PM me.
