I am having major trouble controlling my teenage daughter. She is 17 years old, and10 months away from her 18th birthday. She is suicidal. she also is an alcoholic. and she has an STD. I worryabout her all the time. She doesn't stay with me. She just recently got kicked out of my home because she came there intoxicated and said some things in a drunken stupor. She is on meds for her depression and her STD. I don't think she is taking care of herself because she is drinking so much. I just got charged with child neglect because I kicked her out and told her not to come back to my home Its not that I don't care for her, its just that I have 3 younger children who are very vulnerable and I don't want thempoisoned with her ideas of me. I feel like it would be a dominoe affect with them. I would just get done raising her and then my other children would start to follow in her footsteps. I don't want that I want my children to be brought up in love. Oh yeah, she is a victim of sex abuse. I say she is still a victim because she still is living back in that time. and hasn'tmoved on. I just feel so hopeless right now. I have always been a person who can look at things and find a positive side of things. But right now I feel like there is no hope. Because I failed to help my own flesh and blood. So i guess I just want to reach out for some support in this whole situation. I have some support here, but its limited.
