Thank you @Former-Member@Former-Member

I wish I could see an end to this saga with my daughter. I just wish she would stabilise, stay away from those that abuse her and we could all have something that resembles a life.

Hold to that hope and just keep swimming ....

Ours has been a long-term problem .... it will change .... it is changing .... just stay the course .....

Once the worst of the shock has subsided, just sharing these moments is keeping you and your hubby in sync, even if the emotional connection stays dormant for a while .... I know what I'm talking about here .... defensive shields will go up out of necessity, and emotional processing will take time .... just keep walking together in the same direction . You will get there.

Sending thoughts of hope and courge your way ...

Hugs n hugs

💜💐🐠💕❤🌷💋

Hi @Former-Member
I am so sorry that things have had a huge spiral downwards for your daughter causing you so much distress. I have been trying to think what would help me in this situation and I realise that when you are in hell there is very little anyone can do to help right now but acknowledge that things are really terrible and that you don't deserve this. I think a hug and a box of tissues is probably the best solution for now. I hope that your husband and you can console each other with a hug. Whatever you are feeling right now is ok as long as you don't act on anything to endanger your life. This is a huge crisis but crises can be overcome. Hang on because you don't know what comes next - it may be something for the better. My heart goes out for you at the moment. Sending you hugs and crossing my fingers for you that you find your daughter and she is safe.💜💜💜💜💐💐💐💐💐🤗🤗🤗🤗

@Former-Member. Sending you a hug.
Is there a professional that you can talk to today. Your therapist maybe. Or Lifeline or BeyondBlue. Any of these services will be able to help you through the shock. If you find pacing or talking here isn't reducing the strength of the shock - then please call someone. Maybe even a good friend.
I'm here for you - as are the other members of this forum.
You are not alone.

@Former-Member What a shocking situation. She is thrashing around in pain and anger and it is wrong that the authorities wont help.

I cant say much to help, just hold you in my thoughts and add my post to the others and hope you can find a way to cope... Seek the best activities or music to calm you.

Hello @BlueBay@Appleblossom@utopia@Former-Member@Faith-and-Hope@Former-Member and everyone,

Thankyou for your friendship and support at this distressing time. I went up to the shops through necessity and just came back home. Haven' t heard anything from my daughter and still don't know what is happening.

I have had time to process now - the shock has worn off (it was bad, even effected my eyesight). The situation is not good but it has calmed me somewhat to know you are all there and care. That makes an enormous difference. I find it hard when in such a crisis to verbalise anything on the phone. I get mental blocks. The same can happen when writing but I have more time to think and it helps me to reach out better this way. For now I haven't rung my friend or lifeline. The trouble is when I verbalise anything the grief and emotion can overtake and this has scared people in the past. They don't know what to do. I am actually worried about upsetting them and making things awkward.

The depression will most likely set in again and this is hard to ride through. But you are all making that journey that bit less lonely. Thankyou, I love you all. Truly do. I just wish that love was enough to save my daughter. I think I will pull out those tissues @Former-Member I have to stop dwelling on all my losses as it's making everything worse. Cant seem to stop - and the catastrophe thinking of the future I am in battle with. Why did I have to lose all my children when all I did was make them my world. Why is my life so tragic when all I want to do is help.

Re: 😢

Glad to hear from you @Former-Member

Sometimes the verbalising can make it worse, writing gives me a better sense of calm .. and the dignity to carry on. Do what you feel works best for you.
