Slapped my daughter

[KitKat53]

One night going on midnight my 13 year old daughter refused to go to bed and started backtalking me a lot.  I had a couple drinks at that time and lost my temper and slapped her for the back talk.  She was taken from me and I was charged with intoxication and child abuse.  I need to do a mental evalutation, parenting and anger management.  I was wondering how long will all this take to complete and after it is done how long will it be to return my daughter.  I have never slapped her before that night.  I feel terrible for what I did and I miss her so much.  They say I have a year to complete all this but I am hoping it is not going to be a year before she can come home.

I`m young so I know how to backtalk. I agree with Sara. The most important thing for you is to stay focus and reasonable, and to work on your problems. Maybe this all was just one time thing, but to make sure to stay that way, you should do as you told... go to anger management and all that stuff... Be patient. If you can, you`ll show you are not so impulsive and that`s good. Do not push things, because you`ll just make it worse... I guess this isn`t easy for you but you have to do it to earn your daughter`s trust again if she is hurt... Be strong, and do it right for your daughter, for her long-term happiness...

It is hard to say how long your daughter will be gone.  Take this time to work on you.  I know this hurts right to the core of your being but it is very important to look at your behavior now and work on it.  I wish you all the best~~~sara

Wow! I have a 12 year old so I understand the backtalk. I Also understand that when we r under the influence we loose our temper much easier. Of course we r regretful and sport after. I feel line it's a love/hate relationship sometimes. I would contact your attorney and ask them or whomever is your contact person. I wish u lots of luck at recovery and getting ur family back
