More trouble

[Ryleigh]

Second day back to work and I get a call around 9:30 this am asking if dd is home sick today, she hadn't arrived at school.
PANIC ATTACK!!!
I quick called dh, told boss I had to leave, and followed the path she takes to school. She walks with a group of 10 - 12 others between 8 and 16 so figured she would be safe. One of the other girls said that she told them that she forgot something and had to go back home and she would meet them later.
She wasn't at home. We looked everywhere. Called the police and everyone we know.
Still no sign of her at noon. I was hystarical. Where is my baby. About 3:45 she comes strolling in the door (the time she usually gets home from school) like nothing is out of the ordinary. I think I startled her when I grabbed her, hugged her and was bawling my eyes out. :bawling: When asked where she was she ran off, locked herself in her room and yelled " I hate you all, leave me alone"
dh is talking with her now, then it's my turn. My emotions are so jumbled right now. I want to hug her and never let go but yet I want to kill her for scaring me like she did. I still have no idea where she was but thank God that she is ok. :angel:
My turn is coming up shortly so need to get myself together. I feel like such a failure. What am I doing wrong to make her act out like this? It's got to be more than just the babies. This is so out of character for her.
I'll keep you posted. :nervous::( :/:banghead:

Oh, Ryleigh...you poor thing! I lost my Monkey for a half hour once and thought my life was over. What you must have gone through today! BIG HUGS!

Let us know where she was when you find out. How old is she again?

((((Ryleigh))))

Oh my, what a day! Thank goodness she is safe.

Why did you and dh decide to talk to her separately? Is she more upset with you? Did you need more time to calm down? What did the police do?

{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}} to you and BigDaddy, How totally scary for you both. keep us informed on her big adventure.

Oh my Ryleigh! How terrifying for your family! I am so releived to hear that she is home safe.

Have you asked her teacher if anything is going on at school that might have her upset? Fight with a best friend? New girl in her class that she might be "competing" with? Have her marks changed any? I think I would make an app't with her teacher and/or principal and see if they have noticed any changes.

I know our dd (10 1/2) can have her moments of me wanting to disown her, but we haven't encountered anything so scary as her missing.

Be sure to let us know how your talk with her goes.

{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}} to the both of you... Oh, what you must have gone through today... While you want to take her in your arms and hug and kiss the dickens out of her because you're so happy to see that she's safe and okay... (and what a relief) at the same time you've got to feel like you could absolutely KILL her for putting you through all of this. Ugh... I feel for you! I hope you and Brian will be able to find out what's bothering her. I know that you said that she's been pretty quiet lately so evidently she's been keeping a lot pent up inside herself too... I hope she opens up and tells you what's wrong, and how she feels... Good luck!!!!! Keep us informed...

Diane... :wave:

More {{{hugs}}} for both of you. What a terrifying experience. Hopefully she'll open up so you guys will get some answers soon and be able to work through this tough time quickly. Hang in there and don't blame yourself. You're good parents and things will work out.

You are NOT a failure... you are a good mother, and you know it!!!! Okay??? LOL If you were a failure you wouldn't CARE what was wrong with your dd or how she was feeling, but you do so... pat ourself on the back and give yourself some credit where credit is due. I'm sure after you've had your turn talking with her you'll feel much better about everything... Don't be so hard on yourself!!! :) (((MORE HUGS))) :)

Yea, me too. I can understand why she'd be devoting all time to dd right now. Bless their hearts. This must really be tearing Ryleigh apart right now.
