Please help me. My 13 year old daughter is very angry towards me and as a result lashed out at me tonight. I am going to contact the school tomorrow.

Does that mean she's at home with you, Gailee, or is she still staying elsewhere? Did you talk to your husband about what the police said to him? How hard it must be for you :(

It is unbelievably cruel Gailee. And it is hard to know where you will find the strength to deal with it, but I hope that with support you do. Do you think it might be an idea to find a way to let your DD that she can 'back down' as and when she feels she can.

Of course there will be 'after shock' to all this but one thing my friend (and I am trying to be discreet because it is not my story to tell) has been trying to ensure is that when her DC needed to, he could let go of the story that had almost built up beyond his control and find a way back 'in'.
I am not explaining myself very well I don't think.

But she was worried that the more elaborate the situation got, the less he would be able to admit he had 'lied'.

Well that is good news :) How is she being with you? Have things calmed down at all?

that's odd gailee, on Monday sw told you your dd was not to come home but then she returned Monday evening anyway? So she is living in your home after reporting you to the police and the police wish to interview dh while she is back in your house. It is very up and down, isn't it? I should think that if she is back living with you this week, sw and police do not think you and/or dh are at fault here if that is any kind of consolation in all this. If they did, she would not be back in your home IMO. If they thought she was at risk in your home, they would have placed her elsewhere surely.

If she wants to kick in the head of a girl at school, it is not you she is angry with, she is generally angry. How very difficult for your whole family.

Is she seeing a counsellor now?

are you alright gailee?

After nearly a month of waiting I am being interviewed tomorrow by the police regarding the allegation my daughter made. My lawyer will be with me and has advised me to say no comment to all questions, however I am absolutely dreading it and feel quite sick. Say a prayer for me x
