Question: • I am 16 and have just made a

shocking discovery • I was sick and alone at home • When I felt a bit better, I cleaned my

room and changed the sheets


• I wanted to wash the sheets on my dad’s bed as well

• I discovered my dirty panties and a used sanitary napkin inside his pillowcase

• I put it all back


• I don’t know what to do! • Dad and I have been on our

own since mom left with her boyfriend

• She sends me birthday cards but never phones


• I hate her • I want my dad to meet a nice

lady • He never dates • I am worried about him getting

arrested


• I don’t have any other family • What do I do?


Answer • You are very mature for your

age • Read through my answer and

then decide what to do


• Let’s deal with your mother first • Your anger is understandable • Take a step back • What have you gained from her

leaving?


• You have a sense of responsibility

• You have gained in many other ways

• Give yourself some credit


• You could speak to your dad about your discovery

• It does not feel appropriate


• Find a family counsellor near you

• Tell your dad you are not coping and he must go with you

• See the counsellor alone and explain about your dad


• Your dad will not go to jail • Keep working on reasons for

thanking your mom for her actions

• That helps you both to heal


• We all feel intimidated by life at times

• You are already leading a meaningful life


• You are a lovely, brave girl


Thank You
