Teenage child

I've always struggled as a single mum, but I've strived to always do my best, both my girls never went without,

I always put my girls first event staying single at two points for 4 years and then several years so I could focus on them, but apparently that wasn't good enough for my youngest daughter who is now 17 and has now ran away from home claiming childhood trauma from me,she claims I took her to random men's houses where she slept on the floor and where I had sex in the next room.

For years she has bashed me just like her father did, standing over me taking all my money, I want to know where was my family when my daughter was growing up, when I needed help, no where that's right, I asked for help, but now that all the hard work is done they now have her and I'm left heart broken and lost.

And now she is making these false allegations, she has absolutely destroyed me, I'm so heartbroken that she has done this, I've tried speaking to her,

She is living with my sister and my sister has said if I keep trying to contact her they will go to the police, 

Yesterday I wound up in hospital as I was sick, I got asked who my next of kin was, or who my family was, I burst into tears 

I literally have no one now,

I feel so alone,

hello and welcome.

 

I'm so sorry to read that you are going through such a painful situation. I can also say that you've shown incredible strength and courage to come and talk about what is happening to you here.

 

I cannt say that I know what it is a like being a single parent and from your story it sounded incredibly difficult, and you sacrificed a lot to put your daughters first.

 

You don't deserve to be treated this way, especially by family who you would hope would be supporting you. It's understandable to feel heartbroken, lost and alone. Please don't lose hope.

 

It sounds like you cannot really talk to your sister, but wondering if there is anyone who you can reach out to ... supportive friends or perhaps professional help who can provide a sympathetic ear and help you find a way forward.
