I don't know what to do. Really. Recently I feel so tired, almost exhausted. The point is that my daughter acts rather weird. No, she doesn't attack anyone, nothing like that. But she... remains silent all the time. She doesn't speak to anyone.
It started a year ago. Kelly grew up as a normal happy child. She was so excited about everything. At least she seemed to be. Well, I guess I should say she adored me until her 13 birthday and talked to me all the time. And now she is always silent. I would think that it was me who hurt her somehow, but she doesn't speak not only with me but with everyone else too.
She doesn't speak with her mother either! And also with her friends and teachers. She doesn't study well enough. Her record card is full of "F"s! And she used to be one of the best students.
To be honest, I can't understand what happened. She turned from a sweet sociable child into a cruel silent girl.
Every day she comes back from school, goes to her room, and turns the music as loud as possible. That's awful! A normal person can't exist properly with such music. I even can't hear my football games, although the commentators are rather noisy guys.
Certainly, I tried talking to her. I caught her after classes, for she not to sneak into her room. Can you guess what happened? It didn't help at all. I was speaking and she remained silent. She even didn't look at me. Kelly just stood there like a stone statue. It felt as if she was just waiting for me to finish my speech.
When my patience ended and I felt that I'm done with this, I just ended everything and locked her in the room. Yes, I know it sounds weird, but what would you do if your daughter treated you so dismissive? She could at least argue with me, call me names or just blame me! But no! She just didn't speak at all. And that was much worse. I could hardly bear that.
My wife also tried talking to Kelly. She had the same result. There was no action, only disrespect, silence, and faraway look. Now we're feeding her on the clock. We just leave the plate at her door. And she's having her breakfast at school. Fortunately, it's free.
All her classmates think she's a weirdo. Recently she was talking to everyone and now she even doesn't answer teachers' questions. At first, they were mad, giving her "F"s, kicking her out of the classroom, and calling us to the principal's office. Then they calmed down and decided to save their nerves. They don't ask her and just check her homework and test papers. That's it.
Kelly's classmates make fun of her. Another thing is that they keep saying that it is me who hurt her! Look at me! How could I hurt my own daughter?
Even more serious, they say that we cut Kelly's tongue. How could they think such nonsense! And she doesn't care. She's walking all silent ad pays zero attention as if she doesn't belong to this reality. It seems like she exists in her own world! But why, my dear, why? What happened that day?
I'm a perfect father! I earn money for my family, don't have any bad habits and I've always done everything for her from the time she was born! So it's not my fault. Maybe she has some love affair. A lot of teens have one. But why she keeps closing up? I definitely should look through her stuff. Maybe I will find some clues there. And if I find something... That guy should be scared!
For now, my wife and I decided to take Kelly to a psychologist. A good specialist would definitely help her. To be honest, I was thinking about more profound treatment. Maybe we should send her somewhere. I think that some sanatorium would be a good place for her. What if she's just tired...
And as a last resort, I thought about the asylum. Don't look at me that way! Maybe doctors would be able to cure her and she would stop all that! Sorry, I know that sometimes I become too excited about all this. But it is so hard to cope with Kelly. My lovely daughter turned from a normal kid into some crazy person! I don't know where one can help her and only asylum comes to mind.
Her mother is exhausted because of all this! You should see her! She's lost some weight and has black circles under her eyes. Her hands are shaking. She can't even recognize her daughter because she worries too much. And my wife would probably agree to send our girl to the asylum. Otherwise, I'll have to send her as well. Don't be so surprised! That's legitimate.
I was also thinking about the orphanage. That's in case there wouldn't be a reason for asylum. Of course, I love my dear Kelly, but is she still my daughter? How could that creature function properly in modern society and be a part of a decent family? I don't think it can't. Kelly needs help. Someone should help her become normal again.
