Sorry but that's just how I'm feeling just now.
I've just been told that my daughter has severed all ties with her family.
So much for taking a step back and giving her space.
Phew it's all too much to take in right now.

Thank you - I keep telling myself it's not her it's the illness but it's so difficult not to take things personally. This time things have gone so far down the line it's going to be a long haul back.
I have to try and detatch myself and keep strong and hope she come to no harm.
Thank you again for your kindness.-

you will manage it. Blood is thicker than water, and you are obviously a good mum. As you say it is her illness, and not her really. Good luck

I've seen many people in your situation struggle to cope with their child's mental health challenges and it is beyond tough and exceedingly heart-breaking.

It must be so hard. depression is a terrible thing, and parenting is hard enough at the best of times, without the complications of an illness like that. You can only do your best, and make your decisions out of love for your daughter, and that is what you do. I hope she gets the help she needs, and one day she will be back
