Sometimes the information that others have provided here has helped me with situations, so I am asking for help from any of you with experience.
My 16 year old daughter has run away with her boyfriend, and the boyfriends parents are just as happy to have her there. We found out after 3 weeks of no contact that that is where she was staying. She has tried to attend school, but because she is listed as a run away, the police show up and then she runs away from them.
We can dis-enroll her from the school, and then the boyfriends parents can be cited for contributing to the deliquency of a minor, but that would just infuriate our daughter even more, and who knows where this will end.
The long story made short is that she started dabbling in pot, booze, and loosers, bringing friends home from school, and basically opening up our home as the after school party house. Well we ended that, and 3 days later she bailed.
The cops have picked her up, but she just tells them to f*ck-off. The police and counselors that we have spoken with have all told us that she is just out of control, and is choosing this path. They have wished us luck on a number of ocassions, but it is not getting better, and she will not even speak with us. Many of you already know the story, but my wife and I were both laid off for over 6 months of this year, and although we are now working, we do not make the kind of wages where we can afford to send her to some camp or private school.
Anybody? My wife and I are on the edge, and after 2 years of progressive disobedient and out of control behavior we are out of ideas and options. The police don't even want to keep dealing with it. This is not an abused child, and if anything we over-indulged her (like many a story that has been told), but we are serioulsy dying inside, and seem to have nowhere to turn.
