[QUOTE="april1974, post: 443248, member: 12128"] There is NOTHING wrong with you, that is normal to feel that way...we love our kids unconditionally, that is what moms do...in the moment we may not like them very much and have horrible feelings, but...deep down we want the best for our kids, we would step in front of a train for them, it is so normal to feel guilty and question "am I doing the right thing" and that is a really really tough choice. I don't want to get into too much conversation about my daughter since she is fine now and doing awesome and is a easy child BUT...we went through the terrible teens and it was brutal, looking back it's amazing me & husband didn't run away! Long story short, Canada sucks at tx for teen issues, there is no Boot cam, no resedential tx centers etc, they have to be so severe to be admitted into any of that so it wasn't even an option for us...when we were at our breaking point and couldn't handle it anymore they told us there is no foster care for a teenage girl, there are zero homes that will take her....we had no options except us, family, her dad, friends or the street. It was HELL! If you can get daughter into a center that can help her do it. My daughter turned out fine, she snapped out of it at 17 and graduated with honours and is in college doing FANTASTIC, I have a beautiful relationship with her now that I love & cherish, I am proud of her. Since it's her story I choose not to share it out of respect for her and the fact she is an adult and I won't judge her based on past mistakes, but I will share some things about that time in our life if I feel it will help another mom/dad. Try not to feel guilty, if you have a system that can help her, take it. [/QUOTE]
