My daughter is 13. But of background, she’s has had a decent upbringing. She is an only child so has never gone with out, we have always tried to be supportive and give her everything she needs. A couple of years ago she said she has been sexually abused by her cousin/my niece. This all happened when she was 8, cousin 11. This all come out to a teacher shortly after she had started year 7 so you can imagine the phone call I got and everything else that followed. Her behaviour and attitude is now at the point where I am now having therapy because my anxiety cannot cope with what is going to come next. She constantly craves negative attention and has even sought this online from men. All her access to internet and phone has now been blocked. She has no friends and in general is just hard work. We have come away for a couple of days and all I have had is moods and attitude. Nothing I say or do is good enough. I am waiting on a referral from the doctor for mental health but don’t know what to do until then. I have tried private counselling which she never took too, have spoken to the school and also her. I am dreading her going back to school.
any advice please?
many thanks
