My younger daughter is in trouble. A friend of hers has let me know things that I was not aware of. She is no longer friends with this person who has done a lot to help her. She is getting into bad relationships as a means to an end and digging herself further into a hole. She has no self respect and so lets people treat her badly.
If I try to talk to her about her situation and let her know what I know she will either tell me where to go or lie to me and say it's not true or that she's dealing with everything and it's all OK. She needs help because she's destroying herself and could end up very ill, dead or in gaol. think I'm being over dramatic? I'm not.
Who do I talk to? I'm going a little crazy myself here., Do I call Crimestoppers anonymously? Do I call Lifeline?
One of my main concerns is that she doesn't look after herself properly and at the same time, she has 2 dogs and a cat who are also not being looked after properly.
She's 44 and so I think she has to live her own life without any interference from me but I feel that if I do nothing, I will be in the wrong myself.

You must be at your wit's end. Does she live near you? It's difficult to know what to do, but I realise how heart-breaking it must be for you. If she won't listen to you, is there another family member or friend that she may take notice of?

That is very sad to read about your daughter, however sometimes letting go and letting her to learn her mistakes through experience. I have children of my own and I understand your point of view, but I guess your daughter is old enough to take care of herself and I know in time she will be able to realize it . I thing what we or you should do as parent is to pray that she will be enlighten.

oh m y perhaps she needs to see a mental health clinic its hard to say as shes not a teen b ut mature adult. I know as a mom you feel you should do something to help; her but this ios hard to say what you can do.but perhaps you need to c\contact tough love organization and get her some help; before she lands in jail

We have spoken on the phone recently but I had no idea how serious the situation is. She has no friends as she borrows money from anyone who will lend it then she cannot pay it back. I have spoken to her sister who is going to go see her and check out the situation, then she will get back to me.

I think you call the animal welfare group.
If she has not looked after her pets better, the animal welfare group will first find a place for her pets, and then they will notify someone else to look into other aspects of her life.
I think you just try to stay out of her life as much as possible.

You can only do what you can and leave the rest in God's hands.

I missed this earlier. I am so sorry your daughter is in this position. If she is injecting ice maybe the only way to get help for her is to turn her in. We never give up worrying about our kids do we however old they are. Wishing you all the best.

Turns out her 'friend' who advised me of her situation was not telling the truth. Her sister visited her unannounced and she was fine with no sign anywhere that she was using. .Normally, they don't get along but this time they really had a good visit together and my elder daughter was happy that she went. A really good outcome.
