Daughter is simply out of control. First of all, I blame myself, I stayed with her father who was is a chronic drinker. I thought raising my children with a father was better than without, now I am sorry. They were not abused. I had to take them many nights and leave as he wanted to womp on me.

She has major mood swings up and down. First off I know she is on at least 2 antidepressants, 2 mg Xanax bars and Effexor (not sure of the dose on it). There have been 3 times now that she has tried suicide by taking too many drugs which she denies were intentional attempts. This last time, she just about got it done, she also had pneumonia, so her excuse was the pneumonia, said she had not taken any meds, but I know for a fact she had benzos on her tox screen, lab was just not sure how many she had taken (they were her own rx). She was unresponsive for approximately 24 hours. When she did wake up, could not communicate well and they kept her sedated with Ativan for her combativeness until the meds cleared her system.

She has had many males friends in her life time.

She drinks whiskey straight from a bottle and feels that she can do anything. She is adamant about driving whenever she is intoxicated also. When she is under the influence her antidepressants, I can always tell by her slurred speech and bizarre activity. She is a chronic smoker, probably 2 to 3 packs a day.

She texts me and curses me when she is mad, makes accusations, calls me a prostitute which and accuses me of wanting her man.

She uses foul language constantly and talks right down filthy in front of her children. They do pretty much what they want. I know she loves them terribly. She never attends their school functions and normally knows nothing about their homework until the day before report cards come out or the school contacts her.

She is constantly trying to get back at someone either using something they may have under their belt from years earlier or just watching and waiting for something she can use. She can be very attractive, has everything going for her and she is very intelligent. She is working on her nurse practitioner's license. She lets herself go and is quite disheveled much of the time.

Everyone thinks she is nuts and I need desparately to know what to do to get her to seek medical help, as she says she has no problems. She holds grudges terribly against people. She does not keep friends long. Everyone is afraid what she might drag them into court or blackmail them. She thinks nothing about going to local court house and filling out restraining order papers, many times full of lies, then whoever she might be filing against will have their name in the local news as an intrusive person. I love her and I am to the point that I feel right down sorry for her as she is destroying her life ! Seeking professional advice
