[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 491194"] To me it sounds like she might still be bitter about moving and all the changes that come with it and she might even be doing what many kids in her position have done (my nephew included)....pit one parent against the other (manipulate) to get what they want (self-gratification) regardless of what it does to the other people (self-centered). It may be intentional but sometimes it can be subconscious. It also sounds like she derfinitely has the "wrong" kind of friends. Add them to the mix and...wow.... Personally, and I am only speaking for myself here, the phone would be gone and the kid would be grounded (mine aren't allowed to leave the house without their phone so if they "lose" the phone they lose the freedom also). If they leave, police are called. I don't know what to tell you. I have always been a single parent so my kids didn't have any adjustments there and we have always lived in the same town so nothing there either. I DO know that if she won't talk to anyone, you can't make her but you CAN make her follow your rules. That's about all you can do. I can't speak from experience so all I can do is offer my support.
