I'm not really looking for advice, though I will take any that is given. I guess I'm just needing some moral support as I don't really have any family outside of my girlfriend and kids. Mostly I just need some one to whine to. So thanks for listening.
My daughter, well call her Amy, is 13 years old. My mother has raised her for most of her life although she was always told I was her mother. I was just not in a position to be the best for her at the time. April of last year it was discovered that she had been dating and having sex with a 18 year old boy. It was decided that the best thing for her was to send her to me. So she comes to live. She had been with me for a couple months when I discover that she is still talking to the boy. It takes a couple more months but I finally convince her that he is trouble. Amy no longer is talking to him. He becomes very stalkerish. Calling my phone hundreds of times a day, calling the police on me because I won't let him talk to her. I finally just change my number. So all this drama dies down.
We move back to our home state. She is diagnosed with ADHD, depression and adjustment disorder. Things are not going great at school, she is not able to make it through a full school day without breaking down. Her mood swings are so sudden I'm afraid to talk to her part of the time. She starts cutting herself.
The school is working with me and gives her a modified schedule so she is only going half a day. This still doesn't help and she is still having the break downs. By this point she has earned back her phone and internet access. With the rules that I have all her passwords and I check everything. I go onto her Facebook last night and see a friend that I don't recognise. So I go and get my phone which is what she was using to get online.
Through out the course of the night I discover that she has been have 129 sexually explict conversations with people on a chat site and has been sending nude pictures of herself to several different people and has received nude pictures of several people.
When I bust her on this, I almost don't know what to do. There is no shame, no remorse, just no emotion whatsoever.
Anyway, thanks for listening to me whine. I just needed to get it all of my chest.
