And then the rain came down

[Lunamoon12]

She seem to have it all, best in school, accepted to a high ranking college making top grades, sociable, involved and eager to take on her life. Not to say life didn't have its problems. Her family was suffering in many ways and her friends had their troubles and she was always there for everyone as she was strong, willing and able to deal with everything. I believe it was all the pressure that caused her to lose herself.

She got a DUI and that was the beginning of the end. Once held in high esteem and respected, she was now being rejected. She left school, met needy people that took her further down. Her good friends were gone. She was facing rejection from everyone. Doctors treated her like her problems were her on fault. Family was demanding she get back in the saddle, Police were no more there for help or safety but to judge her as bad.

She crashed...was in a hospital for weeks but never treated properly. She refused treatment.

Now age 32, she can't work. Lives with a guy that is mentally ill, abusive etc. She has dreams of changing things, moving away but can't achieve anything.

She was once very pretty, clean health concerned and now she doesn't seem to care. She lives for the day and just gets by on a few dollars here and there. I worry because of the people she surrounds herself with now. They are not good people and she is in a dangerous criminal environment.

I've seen her crying for her lost future. She feels empty inside. Used and abused by the people that needed her and got help from her.

She can't redeem herself. She can't get a start from anyone in the right direction. She can't find happiness and mostly can't find herself. She is strong, but can't hold up forever.

I can't believe this is the life she got when I had always expected only the best. Life can take turns you never expect.

How can I help my daughter? Now in this country we have no medical insurance. She isn't motivated to seek support anywhere. It kills me watching her life each day and not seeing a good ending. Can anyone help with this?

Does your daughter want your help? If so, that’s a start. If not, I don’t know what to say. If she does, could she come home to be with you? Could you go together to a mental health center or seek help from a pastor? I wish you and your daughter well. I have to go to work now so can’t say more. Prayers for you both.

thank you for posting. She is always welcome home. She comes and goes her problems are unresolved until then, she is trapped. Its a court issue in the city and can't see beyond that at this point. I do thank you

Does she have problems with drugs and/or alcohol?
