Hang in there, Ben. You got out and that's good, you can do more good for your daughter from outside the F, than you could ever do from inside.
OK, you can't turn back the clock, no one can, but you can pray, and God will help her to help herself. [It's not Journeys, but I am a Christian (born again 5 weeks ago!) and already I have discovered the power of praying to Him, and getting results.] When she does escape their clutches,you, her Dad are waiting in the real world, with experience of how to "detox" herself.
That's when you become her real Dad, all over.
That's when you can start to help her again, so be ready for her.
