Just on EA, ours only deals with adult children o18. I'm not sure what age op dd is.
Sorry this has happened. Loads of advice here, please contact someone and get help.

Ring St.Vincent DePaul, you can give back when you have it. They would be happy to help you.

Do you have an employee assistance programme? They offer free counselling to family members, teenagers too. You can also ring pieta house if you think she is in danger, they will help you.

Hi OP, I mentioned this above but just in case it was missed, please contact ASSC, they work with children under 16 who have been SA'd. You can email them at support@assc.ie and they will get back to you. Their Advocacy Support staff can provide support/guidance.

I have some experience in this area, feel free to pm me.

I have a iPhone here that you are very welcome to take. It’s not new but might at least do for a while. Please pm me. I’m in meath but willing to travel.

I second the SVdP we were helped by them in our darkest hours. You have many many years to give back so take the help you need now.

I’m so sorry you are all going through this.

I don’t think I could ring Vincent de paul, there are others who are more needy, we have jobs just no money in the short term

And that's exactly what they're there for. Please do. You and your family are as worthy of support as any other family.

I know it is of no use to you but I am shocked at the lack of support available to your daughter. I had never ever considered that a RCC would not deal with a teenager. I am glad that others have been able to give you other options to contact.

I would second this. Please contact the SVDP. When times are better you can donate to them and in turn help another family in crisis.
I too am shocked at the lack of support available for teenagers and their families in such a horrendous situation.

Please don't feel guilty about asking SDVP for help when you need it. When you are back on your feet financially you can donate to them.

Please contact the St VdP for help- this is exactly what they are there for, to help with a crisis. Please contact them.

This is just awful and will seem neverending. Its very hard to face each day. Please call on all your resources, family and friends and find someone for your dd to talk to although i know the first thing they will say is try and get back to some sort of normality as this helps hugely. You have both been there for your daughter but you cant stay in limbo and need to push forward. I think you should get yourself signed off sick and your husband needs to go back to work. Your daughter will understand that you need to have money to run the house let alone Christmas and you dont want to give her something else to worry about. Im sorry that probably sounds harsh but you are not able to think practically at the moment which is understandable. I dont know if you have other children but they need to see that you can face anything together and move forward. Dont know where you are but you if near D15 you can contact Genesis for councelling. if you are unable to pay thats not an issue at the moment. Same with VdeP if you explain to them they can help and when you are back on your feet further down the road you can always make donations to them. Wishing you the very best and hope that your daughter can get through this .... i know you arent making her go back to school but maybe she could start with half days .... again just to be in a safe environment and rebuilding her confidence.
you will get through this x

I am so sorry to hear your daughter is going through this. I cannot imagine the pain and devastation you are all going through.

You have gotten some great advice here. I would recommend going to your GP and getting signed off work sick so at least you have some income coming in. Do your and your partners work have an employee assistance scheme - it would be good for you to also get some counselling. Our you could ring parentline and talk to someone and they may be able to offer you support and advice.

As others have said please contact citizens advice and St VdeP and confide in a someone in the family or a friend.

I'm sorry your daughter and your family are going through this.

Re Christmas keep it simple as long as your all together cosy thats all that she will want .

Definitely if possible confide in a trusted person family or Friend you will need this .

Contact citizens advice to see if you can claim anything they are way more helpful and resourceful then s.w.

Sorry your family is going thru this. You can apply for exceptional needs payment with community welfare for the weeks off work. You will need payslip 3 months bank statements it's quicker for you to call to local social welfare office to collect form as we are experiencing delays with postage of form due to xmas post. If you fill and in some areas you can bring the forms and all required paper work back to the community welfare. Explain the situation in that you've nothing to survive on and if you've any gp letters etc attach them.
