@MiraRoss prime age for it. and i know it doesn't help now, but she will adjust. hope y'all get some sleep tonight.

@SW-User she was my first and I was over protective if you like didn't help being stuck in the house most of her life and her dad didn't help it, but I think she has underlining mental issues

@MiraRoss maybe, and you would be the most likely to know, being her mom. if she's in a good place while separated from you, then she may just benefit from the routine and change. if not, maybe find some counseling? i think that's what i'd do...

@SW-User I try leaving her with my mum while I go for a walk to get her use to me not being there. I don't want to stress my mum out she got enough going on.
I've left a message to the health worker just waiting

@MiraRoss sounds like you're trying to do your best. i know it's tough. if you keep at it, and get a professional's input too, then you're gonna succeed. hang in there! and take care of yourself along the way, too, because your stress level will affect things.

@SW-User I do everything I can for my girls. Just hope with time she gets better

SW-User
