[QUOTE="Sherril2000, post: 661028, member: 18767"] There is nothing wrong with the thoughts & feelings you're having. You love your daughter, & you want help for her. Anyone who tries to judge you for that hasn't been through what you have with your child. I have been through similar situations with my son, & feel much the same way you do. I tried& tried to help him, but none of my efforts are appreciated. It's not even so much tha anger over how much pain he has caused me & his sister, but the very real fear he will be seriously hurt or even killed if he keeps living the way he has been. The last time he got out of jail he had to go back 8 DAYS later because he & a "friend " robbed a drug dealer at gunpoint for $64. This from a boy who had $300 in his wallet. Just makes me sick. I know you don't want to see your child locked away, but keep hoping being punished will cause her to change her ways & get her life together. Believe me when I say I know exactly how you feel. Don't worry about anyone who tries to tell you you are wrong for feeling the way you do. Anyone who tries to judge you hasn't been through this. Sometimes I feel so guilty for being relieved because at least when he's locked up, I can sleep at night because I know where he's at. I will pray for you & your daughter. Prayer & the help from others in this group are the only things that have helped me get through this. [/QUOTE]
