[QUOTE="DDD, post: 497290, member: 35"] Sending thoughful support your way. I "sometimes" have a different perspective in the CD family because I am old as dirt and have raised eight teens. Rest assured that my intentions are never evil but I do share my take. My suggestion is that you take action right now. Get in the car (or take a bus, whatever) and go see your daughter. Apologize for your impulsive remarks....sincerely. Tell her that you love her and have always loved her. Explain that even loving adults "lose it" occasionally and realize later that they have goofed up. Share with her that you know you are not a perfect parent and her frustrations are common. Then reassure her that you want her home and that the two of you can seek out ways to make things better for all of you. in my humble opinion that is what you need to do NOW. Then you can seek outside help again. A few days in the life of a teenager can be life changing. You do not want her to get comfortable in her "new home". You love her more than anyone else and she needs to know it so you all can work together to make things better. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
