If anyone else feels the same please do tell me I’m not alone!!!!!
My daughter was 3 when she started a course of intensive psychotherapy with Camhs for what we’ve always been told is for “attachment difficulties, hyper vigilance and hyper mania, as well as symptoms of a deep disturbed world almost as if she’s depressed”. She’s now 6 and all we’ve had is stress and confusion, no support or strategies!!! She self harmed - with a knife and I still don’t know why or how it come to this. I was too scared to contact our Camhs worker- rightly too! - I’ll fill you in soon! She’s finally got an appointment with a Psychiatrist but her Camhs worker 1 of 2 will be attending- which worries me!
Basically, Camhs have reported me for neglecting my daughters needs whenever I’ve cancelled her session for big reasons- such as my Dad’s heart surgery, and a few weeks later he had his nerve surgery on his brain. I’m 23, and I live over 300 miles away from him! But because I left my little girl with her paternal grandparents in Devon whilst I was in the North of the country I was reported. I’ve also been told her behaviours are down to my lack of love, bond and care for my daughter DESPITE having Social Services observe over many years and express they have no parenting or relationship or safeguarding concerns and they believe from working with my daughter 1:1 AWAY FROM ME that the underlying problem is psychological and not behavioural!!!!
How the hell is the psychiatrist going to help us when I can’t even get the psychotherapist to believe me and help me!
My daughter is suffering and by day becoming more challenging? She is not a happy child and all I want and wish for is that she can get a good nights sleep without the anxiety attack’s waking her and for her to have a good day, a day without a deep depression, without all the confused aggression!!!
Please if you have dealt with similar or have a child like my precious little lady, please do share anything that may help!
With love
A Mother and daughter in need x
