My lovely DD of 17 has started staying out all night. Since getting a job in a local restaurant the otherwise quiet homeloving girl has turned into a demon. She finished with her lovely boyfriend, started drinking and staying out all night. We are besides ourselves with worry. She has started to hangout with a lad from work who looks like a weed smoker and I have got some evidence to back this up.
We have explained that we need to know where she is and with who and details at best are sketchy. My relationship with her is the lowest it has ever been, her dad is a trooper and is keeping communication channels open. I just constantly feel cross at her and worry she is sleeping around and generally being out of control. Her dad is normally the tower of strenght but even he is down about it today. She is staying out yet again tonight for the second evening on the trot. Are we being unreasonable. She recently failed her AS levels and we think she is confused about her future but we have tried to talk to her calmly and show her the different options available.
Are we just finding it difficult to let go ? everybody elses child seems to be doing well and our daughter is behaving like a right problem child. We are at the end of our tether and utterly exhausted with worry...any suggestions
