[tres1965]

Last night the cops were called on my Daughter, They took her in handcufff's. So, they admitted her on ''agression issues'. My blonde hair'd, grey eyed girl...
16. WHAT, what did I do wrong? I'm heartbroken, & scared for my Baby too.
the tears can't stop or then I'd be empty & that is even worse...

You have not done anything wrong, as a mother we can only guide, protect, nuture and support this takes all forms and all decisions, as a mother you have shown that you are doing what she needs at this point in time, dont have regret just focus on how you can now add to the help you have just given her. Usually the Right decisions are usually the hardest. Remember to help her you must be well too so dont foget to get support for you too. All the best, I hope things work out for your daughter and she can become settled and have the future she deserves.

It is an awful thing to have to call the police on your child and watch them taken away in handcuffs. Recently, I had to do the same thing. My son is 40 yrs old and it was still one of the hardest things to see those handcuffs put on him, knowing I did it. But, I knew it was the right thing to do for him. He would be safe and get help. You did nothing wrong. You did the best thing you could do. Child or adult, when they get to the point that you don't know what they will do next because they are out of control, you have to think of their safety. They do have counselors that deal with them that will talk to you, so you know what it happening. Since she is a minor and you are her mother, you shouldn't have any trouble getting information.

Is her dad around to help you during this time when you need someone to be there with you, or do you have a close friend? This is a time that you really need someone to be with you. I will remember you in my prayers and if you need someone to talk to I'm here.

I am so sorry - What a shame.  My heart goes out to you. That must be an awful feeling seeing your child like that.  I saw my little sister in the same situation.  It is not nice, no one wants to see that, but it has to be done.

She is probably 'safer' now in the hospital.

Do you have someone to talk to a friend to have a good cry with?

You didn't do anything wrong. That's the most important thing. If they admitted her to a psychiatric hospital, then she really needed the help. The police may have gone about it the wrong way but the hospital will be able to help her. Give them a call and find out how they plan to help her and what medication (s) they will be putting her on. Speak to the social worker she should be assigned there as part of the treatment team and be a participant in her recovery and for what they decide for outpatient treatment as well. I'd suggest that. It was a traumatic experience. But you didn't do anything wrong. But she needs your help now in a practical sense. Work with them so they can best help her.
