[QUOTE="DDD, post: 406672, member: 35"] Sorry, Jena. She's been like a volcano showing signs of eruption for awhile. Guess today is the day that the lava flows. I'm not generally a "call the police" advocate. In this case I agree with the family for two reasons. Primarily there is a possibility that she is a danger to herself. Secondly...hate to say it...but you do not know her "new best friend" and, in fact, you don't [B]know [/B]that she is where she says she is, nor do you know what environment the "new best friend" lives in or what goes on in that home. Very sadly many of us have had teens who have lied about where they were, the value of the friend there were with or allegedly with and very very sadly have discovered that regardless of what the house looks like on the outside the inside may be very dysfunctional and a danger. I have personally "met" (thanks to my easy child/difficult child) "wonderful Moms" who turned out to be jointly using drugs with their kids and friends. Yes, that is true. I did not allow him to stay at strangers homes when he was a teen so he circumvented the problem by introducting me to apparently great Moms. Years later I learned that the Mom's knew how to play the role. He even used to throw in info like "Boy, you'd love X's Mom...she's so much like you and is almost as good a cook as you are!" It's too iffy, Jena. Better take the most cautious route. Truly I am sorry that you are facing yet another crisis but deep in your heart you've been expecting your former easy child to erupt. She has! Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
