this has been a hard couple of days wow what do you expect this to happen once let alone twice, we got through the last time by putting it away i ended up on anti depresants this was back in 2003 i was working as the aligations were not found to have anything in it

they made arrangements step daughter wasnt alone with dec this had carried on while i worked and up untill we worked but we still kept up the routine of her not being alone,

now i got to tell you about daughter she has learning dificulties and behavioural problems i know this doesnt excuse her aligations
now this brings what is going on back to now at the moment daughter is in a hostel but i cant seemto see that she will be able to return home
this would not be fair to other members of the family
we got to consider everyone dec doesnt feel like he could live here with her , he says he wont make me choose
does this mean i bad parent not wanting my own daughter around me
i sat on her bed earlier and thought about all her stuff and what she may want
looking at everything brings a lump to my throat
but i know she will be ok as the social services will do everything to make happy
now my only question is why what have ii done wrong to deserve this

(((katheryn))) oft times it has nothing to do with being "right" or "wrong" but being in a system with some quirks about checks and balances?

Keep on doing what you know to be good, and correct. a hard day

No, you are not a bad parent; your daughter has to learn the consequences of her actions just like we all do, despite her own problems. If she cannot, then she cannot live with others whom she is likely to hurt! This is not your fault or something you could have kept from happening.

you are a good mom. this is not your fault
and you most certainly do not deserve it
none of you do

Your daughter it sounds like has some issues that need to be addressed.
Will say a prayer for all

Don't blame yourself for what has happened. It is not your fault.
I know it's hurting pretty bad but you can get through this. If you need to talk we're here

a hard day

I'm think of you and praying for you too. Being a parent is the most difficult thing I have ever done. We're not perfect. We can only do the best we can. And, I know you are.
Take care,
Okie

Kathryn, dear,
I'm so sorry you are going thru this. As Okie said, " We can only do the best we can."
I am thinking of you.
Love

parenting at anytime is challenging

being the parent of a teenager try to find their place in the world is difficult

being a parent of a teen with other mental, physical or emotion issues next to impossible at times.

at some point the parent and child each must find their own way. we dream of this event as being a time of happiness and celebration. in reality things don't always go as planned.

all this sage advice from a frog of little brain and we both know what free advice is worth.

hang tough my hummingbird friend, you will get through this.
a hard day

((((((((((((((( Kathryn & Family )))))))))))))))

We have no control over our children's disabilities. All we can do as parents is to do the best we can. I'm sure you have done just that.

Everyone here has said exactly what needed to be said....and I agree with everyone. You will survive this, Dec will survive this and so will your kids. I know the holidays will be difficult, but there is still much to be thankful for and much love to go around.
