Hi all, I suppose just need to 'talk', shoulder to cry on and get some level headed advice. I've posted here before about my dd15 and ongoing MH difficulties and behaviour problems. She is currently with a child psychiatrist and has been prescribed Prozac for anxiety and depression/ self harm history and therapy has started. She has completely dropped out of school, won't do anything , doesn't leave the house practically but yet again coming up to the weekend is asking to go to a party where there will be no parents and alcohol and weed which she will definitely partake in! We had a horrendous year with her meeting a group of friends that we would love her to break from, getting drunk, collapsing, us frantically looking for her because she didn't meet us at arranged time. It's calmed down a bit but recently asked to meet friends, she cries to me and says it's so hard being in the house all the time and she sees them having fun. She assured me she wouldn't touch any drink if I let her meet them, picked her up, stinking of drink and she got sick at home. Now she's asking again and I live in fear saying no because she has in the past said she would kill herself if she had to stay in. I should say we are making massive efforts to give her extra love and attention and her siblings are too. Im starting to feel so ground down, I know I'm feeling weak and sorry for myself but I just think that I'm going to be battling to keep her away from this group for years as she seems to be so drawn to them.
Apart from this long winded moan 🙂 what do you all think? Do you live in fear and let her go I to situations where she is potentially unsafe or cope with the fear and say no to her drinking, possibly smoking weed and even underage sex. Thanks all
