HELP part 2
Quote From: jenoc99This must be very difficult for you!! Of course you want what is best for your daughter. What you've got to do ASAP is find a professional therepist with experience with teens and make an appt. for your daughter and yourself to talk about all of these issues- there are a ton of issues! If your daughter is being teased and harrassed every day, that can really wear down a person's spirit. Have you considered home schooling with an occasional private tutor as an alternative to dropping out?
Another question, her father is fine with his daughter dropping out of school?
Her relationship with her father is a big part of her self esteem, or lack of it. It would be best if she could slowly build a loving, trusting relationship with this man instead of running to him to get away from her past. What you need to do is take immediate action, your daughter is still a minor and you do still have control, what you need to do is use that control as best you can right away. The best thing to do is get pro-active right now!! She is seeing a counselor and no Dad is not okay with her dropping out......I am hoping that as she normally cannot stay away from me for more than 2-3 days she will take this time to reflect and come home and we will try another avenue.....she spent last weekend there and after first night called me and begged me to have Dad bring her home lol even thought they were having a blast she wanted to be home with me and step-Dad :)....also Dad is not letting her bring her dog which she got for her b-day and has been wanting one since she could talk.....I am sure she will be back I just hope that she calms down and Dad can get through to her....he was a high school drop-out and even though he has his GED wished that he had gotten a diploma instead......thanks for all the kind thoughts and helpful ideas.....
