my daughter has runaway from home - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

happyagain · 07-02-2009, 09:17 PM

well the last few days have really been rough ones. my daughter has runaway from home. i have no idea where she is, if she is safe or even if she is alive. she is gone and the police are looking for her but we have no answers. it has been very hard for me to hold onto my sanity and sobriety the last two days. i have had nightmares about what may be happening to her....what could happen to her....the fear that she could meet up with the wrong person and end up getting herself in a situation where she ends up raped or killed. i am terrified. i haven't been able to sleep...afraid that i may miss an important phone call from her or the police. well i guess that is all i really have to say for now.....i am at a loss for words.....my head is still spinning from the whole ordeal. i will post more when i have more information.

Oh Rachel...

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I know there is nothing I can say to comfort you, but know that you and she are in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry, I will say a prayer for you both and be thinking of you.
I know it is hard, but ruining your sobriety right now is not going
to bring her home or help her. She needs a mom not a
drinking Mom, We can sink or swim in times of crisis,
teach her not to 'run' anymore and handle problems head on when
she comes home. Your strong, and she's strong, try not to project
the worse, most likely she is safe and sound on someones couch
and is just fine.
Keep us posted, and post anytime you feel like you need to, okay?

How old is she? I started running away at 15, stopped coming home at 16. I was having an adventure, and I learned a lot along the way. I never knew how much I had hurt my parents until my daughter started "disappearing", although she is 21 and just forgets to check in with her ol ma.

I am so sorry, I know how scary it is. Hang on to the believe that she is on her path ( I was). If you believe in God, it helps to remember that he loves her.

I also have to be careful to take really good care of myself when my child is missing. Keeping my mind busy, exercise, conversations with my higher power and these forums are a big help.

amanda is 14 and very nieve when it comes to the "ways of the world" so to speak. I am very scared for her and every minute that she is gone my fear mounts.....well i am going to go i am going to go and put up fliers eveywhere to see if they help find amanda.

smacked · 07-03-2009, 10:17 AM

I hope you find her soon. I hope she is safe.

Kelly927 · 07-03-2009, 10:29 AM

I'm thinking of y'all and hope your daughter is back home safe & sound very soon. I'm so sorry you're going through this. (((hugs)))

Thinking of you both....

***Freedom1990*** · 07-03-2009, 12:13 PM

I am so sorry and completely understand all of your emotions. My youngest ran away at 15, and I was physically ill till she was found.

Rachel,

I am sending my prayers for you and your daughter.

namommy · 07-03-2009, 08:51 PM

I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. I know someone has already said it, but remember, God loves her and watches over our children. I will keep you both in my prayers.

I was a child who ran away often and sometimes was gone for 3 months or longer, I hope she comes home to you much sooner than that. Keep bugging the police, put up those flyers, and keep posting here.

Do you know someone who can wander around the streets where kids hang out to look for her.

Have you talked to all of her friends? Have you notified her school? all of these are good resources to go to.

Again, I will light a candle, and say prayers for you both.

keep us posted.

Really sorry to read this, has she got a boyfriend? I hope they find her as soon as possible I'm sure she'll be missing her mom.

Still Waters · 07-04-2009, 06:48 PM

Adding my prayers, I hope she's safe and sound wherever she is and that she comes home soon.

I too caused my parents much worry and white hairs.
