i feel like a failure

[Replies: 1]
my daughter age 21 hates me. she has turned the family against me. i dont think i am a bad mother probally a pushover. i believe 99.8 per cent that she set up a burglary, at my home. and now her other siblings wont talk to me because i accuse her. they know her life was about getting dress, having sex with different guys, internet and her phone she hated looking after her younger sister and brother so i could go to work always had a attitude. and my 12 year old heard her say she hates me on the phone to her friends. all i ever asked was for her to keep the house tidy well her room. and to be there in the nights so i coud go to work. i am a midwife.

well i brought a tv recently 499 42". to cut a long story she rang me one night 2 weeks ago. to ask if i was home because she left her key. i said no. early hours of the morning i heard the house was burgled and tv gone. nothing else was touched in the house. she claimed her laptop was gone and they took it from under her bed. (clever burglers) my laptop was in full view of the tv with the wii and my youngest pink laptop it wasnt touch. the key info here is the police took her keys off her. but gave it back to me, the same time. once everything was over. she dosent know this. I stayed with a friend that night she text me to say she need her key to get her things. i didnt reply. yet when i came back the sunday everyhing of hers was gone. how did she get in. she doesnt know i got back the keys. but told her sisters that she got it back from the police i have not made them any wiser.

since then no one has contacted me as she has been telling them i tried to get her arrested. all lies. but she has made so much mistakes. the others said she didnt do it and she was really hysterical when she found out. good actress. the police believes its a inside job. the house was not insured. never mind.

i have been crying ever since just sitting in bed. have had to take two weeks of work sick. i felt suicidal, feel really low and a failure. i have given everything to my kids they are all i have. no sisters or brothers aunts or uncles over here and i am always there when i can giving money support but at todays date no one has checked to see if i am alive or not. i feel like ending it so they can be sorry. but i know i wont know. i want to write my son a letter. i just dont know what to do. i dont think they should treat me like this. i know they will find out what my daughter is really like. i dont actually miss her because of all the pain she has caused me in the last 6 years. but i dont want to loose my other children. 2 girls and a boy. i am so heartbroken its a understatement. my son say i havent been there for him. yet at mothers day i received presents and a lovely card saying now he has a job he will see me more and how he realise what a wonderful mum ive been. the others basically said the same. mothers day i felt lucky to have them but because of this child my life is upside down. please help somebody do i write to my son. do i try and ignore them all. i feel so sad and alone. one of the lowest points in my life. everyday just seem harder to get out of bed.

Giavanni,

I know you are in terrible, terrible pain. Suicide is not the answer. I know how you feel, I have felt the same. I found this website last night in an effort to resolve some of the pain I am going thru with my daughter. I know you feel alone and that it seems there is no solution, but I have been doing some reading. The first thing that you absolutely must do is get up. Get out of that bed! I say this because I was there also. It will only get worse. Exercise (it will increase the endorphines in your brain to make you feel better), go to work, it will occupy some of that space in your mind. Be kind and pleasant to your othre children without bringing up your troubled daughter. None of this is easy, but it is a must if you are to survive this. And remember...if you commit suicide you will never have the chance to have a relationship with your other children.
