My daughter was released from the hospital Tuesday. I've been very vague on purpose about it. I will say that what happened was that she had a mental breakdown because she was abused by a boy she was dating last year. He's underage, too, so he's all but untouchable legally.
I am wrecked. I'm tired. I'm trying to keep up with work, but I have a couple of clients that are unhappy with my work this week.
Sometimes you wonder if life can get any worse. But when you get to that point where you think it can't, it sort of frees up this, "fuck you, you can't hurt me any worse than I already am" attitude toward the world. Which is somewhat protective, but not a good long term strategy.
OK. Gotta go. Checking my email today is going to be like jumping into a tank filled with great white sharks who have been on a diet.

Sending best wishes to you and your daughter! *hugs*
I'm sorry you and your daughter have had to going through all that. The best thing you can do is be there for her. {hugs}
That was harsh what has happened to your daughter. Hope she is on the mend. What am I saying? Look who her mum is.
As for everyone else, like you said, just let it wash away. In the big scheme they are not as important as your family.
I hope things can get better now. Through out this you have been truely remarkable.
Don't know what to say, Mary. Karma will catch up with the boy when he's older, I guess.
well, her father is an abusive asshole (though not in the same way as the ex boyfriend), so i suppose it is no huge surprise that she would inadvertently seek out abusive boys. and, of course i gave her the genetic loaded gun with my history of depression. poor kid. she's still the star of my life and always will be.
I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. I know this can't be easy for either of you, but it sounds like she's in the right place being there with you.
I pray things get better for all of you soon. *hugs* No one should have to go through this.
