I hate sounding even remotely like I’m sticking up for her huns - I’m 100% not, but as a mum of a now 18yr old who endured DV with me, had terrible anxiety, suffered prolonged horrible bullying and as a result was a self harmer and often in hospital, I have to say, it really honestly destroys you as a parent. The constant worry, the questioning yourself where you went wrong, the unknown - it’s awful, I sunk into a deep depression myself because of it, it definitely has a huge effect on the whole family.
To Rach - one thing I NEVER ever did was post her own private business on social media, regardless of how hard it was for all of us, I never took photos of her distraught, I never took pictures of me comforting her at her hospital bedside at all hours, why? Because that would be ABUSE, you’re abusing Lulas privacy about a subject that’s sensitive to her, even with her permission, she’s too young to realise the backlash, Rach do you even know how nasty some teenage girls can be? If the wrong people at school see this, see people assuming she’s a bed wetter, her school life will be hell, she’ll be bullied, and guess what there will be nothing you can do about it, in my vast experience schools have not been good at dealing with bullying, why? Because a lot of teenagers (not all) really don’t care if they’re in trouble with the teachers, or their parents - there are even some parents that encourage it.
Honestly Rach, you need to think about these things, because when the money is gone, who’s going to look after your children’s mental health? I hope you’re putting savings away for the extensive therapy they’re going to need when they’re older. It may be worth you thinking about finding yourself a proper therapist at this point, hypnotherapy isn’t going to help you, it’s making you worse. You NEED proper help and maybe a parenting course or 3, Money and PayPal aside - this should be your current number 1 priority, not Emily, not your CIC, not Jordan or Astrid, eat that frog or ads that your following likely can’t even afford. Your friends and family are enablers - this isn’t normal behaviour.
