Quote From: mommmy24I am a divorced mother of four. My 15 yr. old daughter lives with her father and the other 3 live with me and my fiance. The past year we have had problems with our 15 yr. old shop lifting, smoking, getting uspended from school, sneaking out at night, low grades, and showing no respect for her parents, family, and siblings. This past weekend was my weekend for her to be with me. It started off pretty good, I even let her have a friend come spend the night. When I woke up at 6 am Sunday morning she had left with her friend in the middle of the night. I was hysterical, I called her father and we went looking for her. She was found late sunday night. My ex-husband and I discussed what we had to do with her. I work for Child Protective Services in a different county, so I suggested we contact CPS in his county to let someone help us. He was all for it, now this morning he stated he is giving her another chance and does not want CPS or the courts involved. I cannot sit by and watch my child fall apart. I wish I could send her to a boot camp to or school that would help bring my daughter back. HELP!!!!
My ex-husband called me at the end of my work day yesterday stating he had to work till 9pm. I drove to his home to pick up my daughter so she could stay with me untill he got off work. I'm afraid to leave her at home alone. I contacted several agencies for help. One was a court appointed case manager that would put my daughter on probation and make her accountable for her actions, behavior, and grades. If she failed any she would go in front of a judge and be placed in a schools school for a short period. My ex-husband does not deem it necessary, but I feel my daughter is out of control. I don't want to back down even if I have to take measures in my own hands. My only fear is that my ex-husband and I have not gotten along since our divorce 7 years ago untill recently. Any suggestions from anyone!! I am grasping at straws.
