I've been under a lot of stress lately and it seems like i'm getting hit left and right with issues.
I separated from my husband in September and I'm currently trying to get the divorce finalized. Since then, my teenage children have been really giving me pure hell! We're all in therapy. My son (oldest) is doing much better now finally, but my daughter (14 yo) is a handful. She's always been an honor student. She's been skipping school and sneaking out of the house. She's completely disrespectful to me. Last night i get up at 3:30 to get something to drink. I usually check on the kids when i do this. Well she had a boy in her room. They were fully clothed, but he was sleeping in the same bed with her.
I never know what each day will bring when i come home. I feel totally helpless. We have an appointment with another therapist because she's not talking to this one. I'm trying the best that I can, but i don't know what else to do.
The holidays are becoming extremely stressful as well. i decided to let them spend thanksgiving with their father's family and i stayed in bed all day. I've been feeling emotionally detached and it's scaring me. I've also been extremely tired lately too.
