 hi there...

first off all u really need to get some real help, i mean these sits are good for advise but u need professional help - my boyfriend has mental health issus and is in hospital, where he is getting all the help and support we both need. they have sessions that both you and your daughtor can attend. u also need to contact the police if she has been missin for that long, not to woory you or anything but you do need to sort something out.

you have been through alot but you dont have to suffer  alone seek help and advise with your problems

 hope this has helped you

good luck

Xx

hi "boomboom"

my little sister had exacily the same problem.and i know what you mean by the black mail ! she was 15 and was doing it for 2 and a half years. but the saying...you gotta be cruel to be kind is absolutly true in this case!.. what your daughter really needs to do is talk to some one ...someone who she feels wont judge her ..like a counciler or a therapist.thats what we did.our therapist really got into my sisters head ..im not sure how to explain it  but my sister just broke down and opened up..cince then she hasent self harmed.my advice to you is dont be walked over and dont feel guilty ..she wants to make you feel as down as she does but you need to b strong and stand by her.xx
