I feel so sad, helpless, desperate even. DD has had a hard year, she started being physically violent to us about a year ago. She went to therapy and the violence stopped. But the communication has all but disappeared between us.
Just before Christmas we found out she was self harming . It wasnt obvious at first because she was bruising herself, she didnt explain to school and school informed social services.
Anyway, its now clear its self harm as she is cutting herself. She has also been put on ADs. But she won´t talk to us (DH and I) about anything. We have tried to open up lines of communication but they all get shut down.
This morning she had a panic attack at school, was taken to hospital by teacher (she refused to let me pick her up and take her to the hospital). I met them at the hospital where she really didn´t want to talk to me, asked me to leave so she could talk to the teacher. I felt dismissed. She´s now gone to a friend`s house - dr said it was fine and probably best way for her to recover.
I feel so cut out and helpless. And scared of where this will all end. I don`t know what to do, or if we are the right ones to be caring for her at this point. I don´t know how to support her - when all my attempts are rejected.
I don`t know what to do with my jumbled up feelings of rejection, hurt, sadness.
