[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 62276, member: 1721"] Hi, and welcome. You will receive much good advice and support here from many different perspectives. None of us has the secret answer, but we have all been able to share our pain and take strength from one another. I am glad you found us. My take on this is that you are teaching your daughter now what the rules will be for the future. Let that give you strength when all you want is to hear her voice and know she is safe. You did not choose the current situation. Nor did you cause it. What you want is for your daughter to live at home with you where she is safe and can take full advantage of the things you have sacrificed to give her. What you do not want is a child doing the things your daughter wants to do from your home. We have to make that distinction, because it hurts too much to have them gone, and we flounder around trying to figure out where we went wrong. You did not go wrong. Your daughter is following a self-destructive path right now. When this was happening to me, I felt like a living, breathing nightmare. I am so sorry this is happening to you and to your child.
