She is slowly commiting suicide
by Toni
(Myrtle Beach, SC)
I am the mother of a beautiful 28 year old who has been molested by her step grandfather since she was 2. He is now dead and I am thankful as, if I had known this before he died then I would have killed him. As it is he died a horrible death, alone and cancer ridden. KARMA!
I know the REASON she is what she is today though I do not consider this an excuse. She is no longer 2 and now can ask for help but will not.
It is my feeling that she is so ashamed of what has transpired throughout her life that she hides the pain with drugs, sex, alcohol, dangerous and bizarre behavior and a cocky attitude that makes everyone she knows despise her.
Presently she has MRSA through her body and bones. Also Hep C. It (MRSA) was in her bloodstream and she was told she would die. I took her to a hospital here in Myrtle Beach, she was placed on heavy duty antibiotics and she lived, thank God.
She went back to Florida where she lives as her father and step mom (2 addicts themselves) were watching her child. She saw her 4 year old son once and left with some random guy. Yes, she prostitutes herself for drugs, still has MRSA with no treatment, doesn’t care if she lives or dies and doesn’t care about her child either.
She has been arrested for drugs, for stealing cars. She works when she can as a stripper and when she has enough money she spends it on her drugs and then goes back to strip again.
I am sick with worry about her and the child. I am going to Florida with my mother next week in an attempt to have her placed, against her will, in some sort of mental health facility. Years ago she was diagnosed with bi-polar/manic depression and when she was placed on meds (I can’t remember the name now) she was a changed person; happy, drug free, my daughter again. She couldn’t afford to maintain the drugs so lapsed back into the old lifestyle.
I dread that call every day and need to get her into a safe place. I would like to know if I am able to go to a judge in Florida and ask that they put her away as she is a danger to herself and also to others?
That is an absolute truth; she would kill for drug money and I am attempting to stop that behavior before this happens and she either dies or goes to jail forever. I would hope the latter as I would know where she is and that she is alive.
I am so concerned about the baby, have called Children and Family services and no help at all. She can con just about anyone; though not me and not her grandmother. (My mother)
I need help, please. What can I do?
She has been on Heroin, Roxies. meth, ecstacy, methadone, oxycontin, percocets, PCP, whatever is available she will do.
Thanks for anything you can help me with. Toni

Firm Action Needed
As a prostitute with MRSA and Hepatitis C, your daughter is a public health disaster. She works as a stripper, which tells me that she is probably an attractive girl, making matters even worse. I can see your point. This is a train wreck. Maybe law enforcement and the courts can be your friend here. Her activity as a prostitute might be the key to getting her help. She needs to be taken off the street, as who knows how many people have been exposed and infected. The Hep C is transmitted through the blood, but saliva and semen can carry the virus from one person to another. MRSA is a contact disease. Patients with MRSA in hospitals are put in isolation and precautions are taken to prevent spreading the disease. Your daughter is a threat to someone’s health. Her addiction is also a spiritual issue, a disease of her soul which has taken a brutal beating over the years. The grandfather’s actions were murderous. Aside from her obvious medical issues, your daughter needs spiritual healing. I think you understand her best. I can’t imagine what that kind of abuse does to the spirit of a little girl, but obviously there are deep-rooted hurts. Any treatment you can get for her needs to include a spiritual component. This is not religion, but something to soothe the deep, spiritual pain she must feel every day. Of course she masks it. I also agree with trying to get those babies out of that home. But the problem is proving that there is anything wrong is a difficult challenge. You need to have a plan, so I would suggest calls to Al-anon for support, maybe to your lawyer to get legal counsel, to other members of the family to gather the clan together and get everyone on the same page. Don’t do this alone, there’s too much going on. Go ahead and make phone calls to the courts. You can do your part, but ultimately you are not responsible for the results. You need help. Your daughter needs to want help. It’s a heartbreaking situation, but there is hope. You can also turn to the church for help. Many pastors are skilled in drug issues, so you will find a sympathetic ear. In the meantime, my prayers are with you, Toni. You love your daughter and you want to do the right thing. Follow your heart and reach out for support. |
