Hi. First time I have posted on this site and just looking for some feedback / advice. I have major problems with my 17 year old daughter. I don't want to go into huge detail but since she was 12 it has involved just about everything: drink, drugs, staying out all night or for days on end, not going to school, bad friends, worse boyfriends, self harm etc etc.
Now something has happened which I can't get my head around and I wonder if anyone on here has had a similar experience:
My daughter and I had a major arguement, in her bedroom, which lasted most of Thursday evening. She was on her tablet, with her back turned to me, while I 'ranted.' She said I was psychotic and should be sectioned. About 1/2 hour later bang on the door - 2 police officers, a paramedic and a social worker. Her boyfriend phoned them saying I was abusing her and threatening to kill myself!! She was obviously on the tablet to him earlier during the arguement. Turns out she also recorded me at the same time - which she played back to the police etc. She also told them I had been in a psychiatic unit and she had to call the doctor out for me to be medicated 2 weeks ago. All untrue. Anyway, long story short, the police etc said they wouldn't take it any further. Daughter is staying with her boyfriend now and won't come home until I 'get some mental health treatment.' She also filed a complaint against the police because 'they didn't do their job properly.' Meaning they didn't arrest me for abuse or cart me off to the mental hospital I suppose!! Complaint now being investigated which means further involvement and probably social services. Awaiting a call back from police officer involved.
So......my own daughter instigated with her boyfriend to get me sectioned??
I have taken just about everything from her over the years but now a line has been crossed - don't think I will get over this one.
Any help, comments, empathy greatly received. Marie
