Hello everyone...
I am so glad to find you...I sooo need some support! My daughter (lives with her dad) ranaway Thurs from school, no one can find her. I am extremely worried & scared for her. She is living in a not soo good part of town, which I am really not happy about.
Lil' background info...this might be long. Amanda has a history of running. She is diagnosis'ed with- ODD, depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Her counselor & I worked hard to get her to where she was, she was going to school, not being quite as defiant, she was grooming herself & was ALMOST like a normal teen. We had her on Amitryptiline for her headaches, but, it was also helping with her behavior.
A lil' about me, I have chronic pain, I hurt 24-7. I am on some strong pain medications that just dull the pain. My blood test showed that my glucose is a bit high, co2 is low. I have a chest cat scan on Monday, as they found a spot on my xray. They are also testing me for Stiff person syndrome. I'm okay with all this believe it or not, I just want answers, I've been hurting for almost 2 years now, with-o knowing why.
Back to topic, that was needed so you understand why I couldn't handle Amanda anymore.
Her dad decided to show up back in her life after 9 years. I had gotten a protection order against him for five of it. He was sposed to go get visitation rights, but did not.
When he showed up in her life, it was the same ol' ****. He tried to take off with the kids. I had to have the sheriff go & escort them back.
Amanda went totally back to square one. VERY defiant and was becoming physically abusive towards me again, with my medication condition, I can not tolerate being beat on. I had to call the sheriff out on her. You see, her dad was offering her a "better life" & she wanted to go live with him. I told her that she could as soon as he got a job & had a place for her to live. Obviously, that did not sit well with her & she became frustrated & violent. She would block me in rooms & bully me. I was very disappointed because she had come sooo far to go so far back downhill. The sheriff told me to go ahead & let her go live with him, as did CPS (yes the dad called cps on me, & was then told that it is illegal to file false complaints ).
Aug. 31 she went to live with her dad, but he dropped her off at his sisters house & he was living elsewhere & would see her on the weekends. He took her off her medications with-o weaning her off, because he insisted there is nothing wrong with her. Even tho, I gave him all her psychiatric reports when she went to live with him, as well as a book on ODD.
She started skipping & refusing to go to school again (I had her going to school everyday). She got caught shoplifting at the mall & was banned from a store (she never did that here). Her attitude went totally back to square one, but worse. Thurs, she ran away from school. Her dad did not report her missing until the following morning. I live 7 1/2 hours away, so my sis did report her. She has ran before, but i have always found her & got her home within 2 hours of her running. With her dad flaking like that....well...she's never been gone this long. I am totally terrified & worried about her.
Any suggestions?
