Title: My 14yo daughter is struggling, so am I (update1) Post by: JD2028 on April 21, 2021, 09:49:02 PM So she was sexually assaulted in the bathroom at school yesterday. She won't talk to us much less report it. We expected this, but not so soon. I feel like I'm hanging on, one terrible time to the next.

Glad you reached out. This is a good place to come in a low time. Title: Re: My 14yo daughter is struggling, so am I (update1) Post by: JD2028 on April 21, 2021, 11:46:10 PM Thank you. There are only 1 or 2 people irl that talk to about this, but no one really understands unless they've been through it.

You are among friends here . . .

No judgment or "why didn't you just..." here. We do the best we can for our kids and families, taking it a moment at a time. I hope you can have some moments of low intensity and self care this week. |
