Please any help and friendly advice anyone could offer I would be so grateful.
In a nutshell my dd who is 12 has been self harming for several months .
First time I took her to hospital she told Camhs she was doing it due to her strained relationship with her dad .
She’s self harmed since too and most recent threatened to slash her wrists to her friend but , then a week later was ok with the situation that had made her feel that way originally.
Due to all of this I have had to open communication with her abusive father who I had to deal with for 5 years being abused mentally and physically and since this has happened it has now resurfaced 10 years later .
The threats , the belittling, the verbal abuse .
It’s literally destroyed me to still have to endure this.
Since mid last year once my dd decided to live with us all the time the violence has now got worse . Involving police and my ex grabbing our daughter .
To make matters more painful and after my ex husband has made a reappearance in her life she has decided to go and live with her dad for a few weeks .
I believe she has been manipulated by her father as he wouldn’t let me even ask her why .
Only to be told she had told her father a lot lies about us and how I am pathetic.
To say I am hurt would be an understatement but , I had to let her go as that is how she felt .
Should I just give her the space she needs ?
