My Daughter Ran Away….again!!?
Posted by: Alan in Alcohol Counseling, tags: Away....again, Daughter
My sixteen yr old is gone again. Woke up this morning found her in bed with her 18 yr old boyfriend, and her 16 yr old friend on the floor with her boyfriend. She didn’t have anyone over when I went to bed. I kicked everyone out but her, we argued, fussed, and fought. I went to work and she evidently ran away…. AGAIN. She is in therapy, and we go to counseling, she is still failing school and has been caught with drugs and alcohol. Is there anything I can do…. Call the cops… send her to boarding school.. I have two other younger children, and it is destroying our home. Do I have to keep trying??

this would truly be one of the hardest things for me to do myself but she’s still a minor and you are still legally responsible for her–I would put her in some kind of therapy-rehab center where she had to stay until better… she’s going to hate you for it at first, but, down the road she will see that it was for the best… bless your heart & good luck~

Yes, you have to keep trying. She is your daughter, regardless of the poor decisions she is making, and is your responsibility until she is 18. I think its probably time to start practicing tough love…in-patient therapy, military school, something that will get her on the right track, while monitoring her. I also strongly suggest family counseling.

Well it depends see as you Know she is going through hell right now its her teenage years so you could sit talk to her try not to yell that might just push her farther away. I would suggest counciling. I hope evrything works out. Oh if shes still gone call a missing child hotline and if you believ in god Pray

I would call the cops, and send her off to a boarding school, it is obvious she has no respect for you and someone needs to teach her some. She will be mad with you at first, but later in life she will respect you and thank you for saving her from a bad life.

obviously your daughter does not consider you a threat. She is not afraid of you no matter what you say or do. I think you should send her to boot camp. Tht way she will learn how to live the hard way of life and if she tries to talk back to any of the adults, they will punish her.

wow!
i answered your Q earlier and i didnt expect it to be that bad!
If its one thing i wont stand for, its disrespect. She is definately taking the piss!!
send her off to some rehabilitation for teenagers. She will thank you for it later in life!

MY DAUGHTER IS ACTING THE SAME WAY. ALL YOU CAN REALLY DO IS LET HER LEARN HER OWN LIFE’S LESSONS. LIKE YOU SAID YOU HAVE OTHER CHILDREN TO WORRY ABOUT AND THEY WILL WATCH HER AND SEE WHAT SHE GETS AWAY WITH AND SOON THEY WILL TRY IT. TAKE OUT A MISSING PERSONS REPORT ON HER. THEN IF THE POLICE FIND HER HAVE THEM TAKE HER TO YMCA SAFE PLACE IN YOUR AREA. SHE LEFT OF HER OWN WILL THEN SHE MUST HAVE IT ALL UNDER CONTROL. IF YOU HAVE DONE YOUR BEST, THEN THAT IS ALL YOU CAN DO. LET HER FIGURE IT OUT. BUT SHE SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO JUST COME AND GO AS SHE PLEASES. SO SHE WILL BE LUCKY IF YOU LET HER BACK IN THE HOUSE IF HER PLAN FAILS. GOOD LUCK.

sorry about your girl but this is my suggestion
you really need to find the reason why did she start using drugs and alcohol in firt place!
don’t push her too much and nicely ask her to leave her bad habits step by step.surely the first one be the boyfriend I guess who drag her into drugs in the first place.you should go on a trip to somewhere far from her Friends and try to bond with her.
or find who does she respect the most in your family and listen to then ask her or him to talk to her if your talking didn’t work,personally I don’t listen to my dad very much but I listen to my cousin.
or find new hobbies for her
good luck
I’m 20 btw

I’m sorry that you’re going through such hard time, it must be harsh on you to see your daughter act like that.
I’m 17 yrs old, me and my mother share a great great great relationship, I love her a lot. I do everything for her and she does everything for me. we weren’t this close a few years ago, but now she listens to everything I have to say and some times does what I think is right in different situations, so in return I listen to her and I try to please her with all my heart.
If your daughter gets enough attention and love at home, she will never go searching for it outside the house!
