It's 12:54am and I can't sleep. Today daughter was diagnosed with a mood disorder on top of substance abuse. I had to ground her and take away her Netflix for sneaking out before sunrise to get high. Earlier this week she snuck out behind my back in the middle of the night to meet up with friends and I had to call the police the next morning when she wasn't home by noon.
I was her age when I ran away to a youth shelter and was suicidal. My disordered parents accused me of doing it for attention. I was already in so much pain by that time that I didn't want to live. The difference here is I am doing everything I can to help my daughter. Today was a big day. My daughter will be seeing a pediatric psychiatrist next month. I feel guilty for passing on my mood disorder to her but I didn't cause it. When I told her dad what happened he attacked me for making an appointment with a psychiatrist . He refuses to treat his bipolar and our marriage definitely contributed to my complex PTSD. On a core level I haven't felt safe for a long time. When people who want to help me tell me it's safe I don't feel safe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

How incredibly stressful for you. And how difficult that you have no support from her dad. I have no wisdom for you, only hugs, and hope that now your daughter can get the right help, to make things easier for both of you.

At least you don't have to deal with that on a daily basis. I hope things at the paediatric psychiatrist go well. Do you want to talk any more about your feelings of being unsafe?
