How Can I Best Help My Daughter?
Question by Lesley M: How can i best help my daughter?
My sixteen year old daughter just called me. She’s been missing for two weeks. She runs away all the time to live on the streets, do drugs and carry on without rules to protect her. I’ve done all that I can think of to do to help her, including foster homes, residential treatment centers, etc. Now she’s apologizing and wants to come home. She stole her six year old brother’s life savings before she ran this time, and took a fifteen year old girl with her. She convinced her to run away with her by telling her that her stepdad hits her- which he doesn’t do- and then got that girl into a very dangerous situation in which she was harmed. My daughter didn’t mention what happened to her friend except to say that she “wussed out” and is acting like it’s no big deal. I did not tell her I knew about it. My daughter has been in therapy since she was four, but it hasn’t helped. She’s cold. She’s going to be here in the morning to talk, and I don’t know what to do. My family’s scared of her.
