Kingdom of Knuffel

Thank you Moi. We are trying to figure out a way to help her that she will like without locking her up again ; ;

That is really good to hear. And you are right. After awhile people will push back. I'm so glad he can't do anything he just wants to do. Just gotta hope our government doesn't try to screw up like they were trying to do with getting rid of that commitee that investigates bad doings.

Thank you. My mom is going to help by talking to her this weekend to see what we can do to help give her the "push" she needs to try to make things better.

Those are good ways to have an outlook on things. Gotta keep those in mind.

Saiyouri, if there's anything we can do to help or support you, let us know. If you need to talk, or if you need ideas for places you can turn for help, or whatever.

Thank you very much Pwale. I truly appreciate it alot.

It's a tough situation. I know she overeggrates but I also know if she got into see a therapist and got the right meds they would help but since her father has custody he won't listen to a thing I have to say... He refuses to believe people have mental problems. Even though he saved his father from killing himself over 20yrs ago on Christmas eve and lived with my crazy self. He keeps thinking it's going to go away but she's taken pills and tried to drive the car she was using at the time into a tree and freaked out because she didn't die. >.> At least she cut back on cutting but turned to pills and beating her legs. It's a bit confusing right now. (he's a really bad person who I didn't fight for her because I was a bit afraid of what he might try to do; tends to happen if he tells your daughter he would kill her mother first before he let her near her own child ugh).

I'm going to wait to hear back from my mom to figure things out. Talking to her might help me think a bit better. At least my daughter has one year til she's 18 and then she can get the hell out of his damn family's horrible home.

I'm so sorry, Saiyouri, that's a terrible situation. Your ex appears to be dangerously uninformed about mental health. I really hope your mom can help your daughter out. I've been suicidal and self-destructive a few times in my life, but at least I had a supportive and understanding family to get me through it. At least she has you, even if it's complicated.

This might not apply to your situation, but I've found this hotline useful. http://www.crisistextline.org/
It's called Crisis Text Line and if you or someone you know is in a crisis you can text them. It works a lot like a normal hotline, except you use text instead of calling. It's a free and immediate way to get in contact with a trained crisis counselor. It's just something that's good to have in the back of your mind, just in case.

Thank you. I'll show it to my fiance and let him know about it. He thinks of her as his daughter and truly wants to help her out. I'll keep this in mind if things get horrible again with her. She flips between everything is ok and hating being alive. I know my ex is informed he's just a plain jerk. He's a truly abusive person and leaving her with him is a huge mistake but getting fully control of yourself from that kind of relationship is really hard and I've gotten alot better just not mentally strong enough to stand up to him completely. She comes to me because she knows I will understand and try to help her. I just hope things can hold on til I can figure out how to fully help her or get the courage enough to stand up to him completely no matter what he might do.

How's it going?

Also, I'm thinking maybe we should change the name of this thread?

We don't have our phone on right now. It ran out of time so the calls aren't coming from her. No idea what else is going on. Emailed my mom and waiting to hear what she thinks I should do and think about what's going on. I'm the worse person to handle this situation since I'm so close to it.

What do you think we should rename it too?
