Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hello: I am new to this group, new to support groups in general and just learning to accept the fact that my daughter has an illness that I can do nothing about. Its been a struggle getting to this point. We thought she would eventually grow out of this behavior. She does not accept the diagnosis and does not get appropriate services. Her life is one huge crisis after another. She gets along with no one. She is always miserable. There have been financial losses, relationships damaged beyond repair and legal issues. It makes me very sad to think what the future holds for her. It makes me sad that we will never enjoy a close relationship. She is my only child and I raised her as a single parent until she was 10. There are no nonBP kids to compare her with and I carry a great deal of guilt. There was never any abuse, she was spoiled by the family, received enormous amounts of attention. My heart wants me to hear that there are explanations of why this happened to her, but my mind knows there really are none. Did the divorce cause this? Was I too critical? Did I do too much problem-solving for her? Did I let her get away with too much growing up? My present husband has no problem distancing himself, she did some serious damage there. I know now she is capable of doing or saying anything to express her rage. The idea of needing to protect myself by distancing does not seem right. It will be good to have come contact with people in a similar situation. Gardenladybug50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
