Good luck.I've had some issues in the family come up and I'll be absent from the forum a bit. It could be a a few days, it could only be a couple.
If you pm me I'll get back to you as soon as I'm able to.
Thanks.
Sorry to here she's struggling like that. It's great you caught on to it before it got more serious. Life's hard on kids these days. I'd dread school how things are. We're all. Thinking positively for you and your family. Well I am for sure.Thanks guys.
So we admitted my daughter to a mental hospital yesterday.
Those who follow me know my daughter recently decided to stay with me full time while her mom moved again at the end of last school year.
A few weeks after her mom moved she used a Bobby pin to scratch her arm up, they weren't full blown cuts, and we started going to the school counselor every week to talk about what was going and she was doing well. Talking to her you wouldn't know anything was wrong. So yesterday my wife saw another scratch on her wrist and she said she did it with one of those razors that are in the little pencil sharpeners.
We took her to the hospital and from there they admitted her to a mental hospital for observing and evaluating.
If you were to see the marks on her arm you wouldn't think much of it but, the behavior is the scary part because she did it on purpose trying to deal with things kids these days have to deal with in Jr high and teen years.
It's heartbreaking to see your child go through something like this and no matter what you try you can't fix the problem, it's something they have to fix for themselves.
I would be lying if I said I didn't feel like a shitty parent for not seeing it earlier or being able to do something about. It really sucks.
On the bright side, we were fortunate enough to be able to get her help before something worse happened and hopefully this will help her grow as a young adult.
So that's what's up. I know it's the pit so fire away if you feel the need.
Damn life throwing curve balls..sometimes we need an eye opener in order to put ourselves in a different light and think about our struggles we're dealing with in regards to others dealing with mental issues.. I've been admitted before, and it was an eye opener. Hopefully she will get strength from this experience. Teen years are tough as it is, but these days in the reality and world we live in now, it's even tougher than our generation.. stay up big man and positive vibes sent to your daughterThanks guys.

I blame the snowflake mentality of the current generation for this. We were raised to survive. These kids have things handed to them without effort. So they take stuff for granted, if theres food on the table and a roof over your head. Its a blessing. Things have been too easy, physical activity has dropped to almost 0. These kids exert all their energy doing negative things now.Thanks guys.
