Daughter's Suicide Attempt.

[TinaTay]

I don't know what to do. If you have read my other journal, you know that my husband was raping my 14 year old. Well, Tuesday I get a call from the school saying my daughter had attempted suicide 3 times in the past few days and that the principal had called an ambulance. They wanted me to come there. When I get there all my daughter can say is she's sorry. I find out that in the past 3 days she has cut her wrist one day, tried to hang herself another and on Tuesday she had taken alot of "sleeping pills". The sleeping pills was melatonin, thank God, but she really thought she was gonna die. She was saying Goodbye to all her school friends when a friend ran and told. Now she has been admitted to a behavioral health facility, but that only lasts for a week. I'm scared to bring her home. What will I do if she finally succeeds? I have 4 other children so I can't watch her 24/7. Any advice???

If you believe at any time she is in danger of herself take her to the ER and admit her to a psychology unit.

 Has your daughter been in any type of counseling?  I would try and seek some more professional places where they know how to deal with suicide attempts and or sexual abuse.  I cannot imagine what you are going through.  My thoughts and my prayers are with you and your daughter.  Keep looking there has to be a place where she can go to get more help.
