Since my daughter started secondary school she changed over night.
She mixed the wrong company and became disrespectful and would not listen.This was a child who had music lessons. Dances classess many out of school activities.
I ended up with social services on my case for 2 years invading my privacy who confirmed that I was a good mum but she was making the wrong choices I worked endlessly with the school and the authorities. She would dissappear after school, I had to get her out of police stations for stupid things and the list goes on.
As a single parent myself I work hard to give her a nice home, holidays and love and I managed to still keep tabs on her the best i could. Everyting I did for her never seemed to be enough.
I supported her through everything where many parents might have given up.
I even sold my house and moved home and area so we could have a fresh start.
Then the bomb shell came. At 15 she came home pregnant I was so disappointed and ashamed. But then she had my lovely granddaughter at 16. She took a year out of education to care for her daughter which she did well. But being a child herself I still had to supervise as they both live at home we me.
She is now in college and also depressed. She has to make new friends which she is not to keen on. She is now 17.
She is receiving counselling and just started taking antidepressants which take a little while to work. Once again we love our children unconditionally I have been going like this for 6 years.
I am so exhausted mentally and physically and was looking forward to a new chapter in my life. I don't go out much and I don't have any friends in my new area but I am trying to build a new life. But I keep hitting theses obstacles with her. She has no relationship with her father. I have a older son who is the opposite to her.
Has anyone been through anything similar and what was the end result.
