Very Worried Mama

Very Worried Mama

TRIGGER WARNING. My girl has been admitted to hospital for the second time in three weeks due to self harm. This is totally new behaviour and I’m feeling completely useless to help her due to her estrangement. It is so hard sitting on the sidelines not being able to even hold her hand. I simply don’t know what to think anymore and am emotionally spent. Desperate to see her instead of passing on my messages via nursing staff but she won’t allow me to visit. We/she have been through so much heartache but it just seems to be getting worse instead of some stability. Trying to find my place of calm tonight is proving difficult. Too many tears.

Re: Very Worried Mama

Hi our beautiful @Shaz51 Gosh what a roller coaster ride these past few weeks have been. The possibility of meeting my girl with her support worker was on the cards as you know and then changed her mind. Now hospitalised twice in the past 3 weeks for self harm. Present more serious and won’t allow me to visit. Support coordinator working on finding more supportive accommodation which is desperately needed. Bless my beautiful daughter. Hoping the hospital can stabilise her meds this time around. She is so non compliant with them and still has little trust with the system which leads her down this dark alley. If only she’d talk to me 😞 Taking good care of myself now after a few weeks of just feeling numb and simply emotionally exhausted. Pick myself up and dust myself off again. Hoping this new accommodation, once secured will be a positive as she will have support 9/hrs per day. Her 28th birthday next week 🙏 Sending love and hugs to you lovely lady ❤️
