I feel like leaving home

DD15 nearly 16 has been very difficult( think drugs, police, violence etc) she has been so good the last few months though.

However, in order to keep the peace I have found myself tiptoeing around her. Thinking twice about what I say , being careful not to even bloody sigh as it can set her off into a screaming fit. I'm sitting here tonight thinking ' what the bloody hell am I doing ?' I'm fed up of walking on egg shells just to keep her happy. She asked me if I thought silver hair would suit her. My reply was 'Weeeeell I'm not sure if it would' cue shouting and screaming that I don't care and I think her hair is shit.

I can't carry on like this. I want to leave home( yes seriously ) and see how she gets on without me.

Worried about you op. please post.

Have no experience of this and am a newbie to Mumsnet, but should we be emailing MN HQ and alerting them? Or is that a breach of privacy?

I know her rl name, she came to the Christmas meetup and was in the fb group. The last thing I want to do is intrude though.

Travelledtheworld · 01/02/2014 22:06

I also reported the thread earlier this afternoon, in case they do have any contact details. No response from MNHQ though......

Hopefully she is completely zonked and will wake eventually.

Travelledtheworld · 01/02/2014 22:07

minty perhaps you could send her a friendly message via Facebook ?
Is she alone as she sounds on this forum ?

I had forgotten she has a lodger. Good that there is someone else in the house who can call for help if necessary.......

Hels20 · 01/02/2014 22:19

Aah - if she has a lodger that puts my mind at ease somewhat.

hello

are you there

please call an ambulance

just think about yourself for now

Travelledtheworld · 02/02/2014 05:32

You will feel really down after a big dose of Zopiclone. Don't take any more tablets ! You will feel groggy for a while. Can you manage to make yourself a cuppa and get a bit of toast or something to get your blood sugar up ?

Travelledtheworld · 02/02/2014 05:35

Then call The Samaritans . There will be someone there you can talk to.
