See What University Has Turn My Daughter To!

The hope of every mother is for her eldest child to leave the nest to start university – she also dreads the day it happens,” says Mudia, 51, an executive director of a stock broking firm”.  So came the day when I hugged my 20-year-old Matilda goodbye in front of her new female hostel digs. We both put a brave face on, afterall, these exciting new beginnings would mark the next chapter in my daughter’s life – it was my duty as a mother to let go the apron strings.

“Back home, my husband and I were consoled by the fact that Matilda’s mass communication course would launch her into a rewarding career.

Unfortunately, what I couldn’t have anticipated was that my daughter’s arrival at university would precipitate her downward spiral into a dangerous world of alcohol dependency, leaving her vulnerable to sexual predators.

Whilst stories of students drinking to excess are nothing new, Matilda’s tale will horrify any mother of daughters. And never more so than at the beginning of an academic year when drink – fuelled Freshers’ weeks across campuses/seduce new cohort of wide-eyed students with a seemingly endless supply of alcohol.

“Before her final year at university was over, my poor innocent daughter had developed the beginnings of such a serious drink problem that she sometimes missed lectures. It was during her third year that she finally dropped out of university altogether. ‘It sickens me to admit that I must have had at least 40 one-night-stands,’ she admitted to the specialist trying to wean her off alcohol, ‘and they’re the ones I can remember – all because I was too drunk to care. Too drunk to bother with contraception, I realised I was very lucky not to get pregnant, or contract a sexually transmitted infection. And having repeatedly put myself in vulnerable positions, I am also aware I’m lucky to be alive.’
