Hi Sarah Jane, I read your post and felt as though you were writing my story so many things the same. My girl is still doing reckless things only 3 weeks ago her and another girl stole my car from the garage and drove it 3 hours away and crashed it thankfully no one was hurt but my car was a wreck and wrote off. I have a new car but now I sleep with my car keys under me. I don’t know what this ends and I try and be sympathetic to her behaviour but it is so hard. She has been missing for 48 hours she thankfully messaged me so I know she is safe but she is only 15 and very naive about many things. When she goes like this it is so hard to get her back because she is having fun doing drugs and god knows what. Luckily the police in my town are so good to me and always help me. She has gotten herself in trouble with the police and may possibly have to go to juvenile detention that scares me because the thought of her being locked up with be so hard on her. When I took her phone off her only a week ago she was like a caged animal so I don’t know how she will cope if she does get locked up. She started self harming after quite a few months of stopping so that is a huge worry. She says she doesn’t see a future so heartbreaking she is the most beautiful girl and sweet when that girl is her but I don’t see her very often. I want to get her help but she doesn’t seem to want to help I have heard about dialectic behaviour therapy but can’t seem to find anyone that does it around where I live. I am so sorry about your husband that is so very sad and your poor baby must really suffer. My daughters dad is non existent he is an alcoholic that doesn’t have much input in her life and his answer at the moment is give her a good slap well that isn’t going to work at all. I don’t know what is going to work I just want My girl to come home the longer she stays away the more scared I get. Sending love and hugs to you xo
