My 15 year old dd keeps running away. She generally stays in contact with me via text but won’t always say who she’s with or lies. It’s generally only for a night or two. But I have to call the police. It’s happened twice now where I’ve had to phone the police and there’s been a couple of other one nighters where she’s stayed out but I’ve not had to call the police as she’s told me where she is and I’ve spoken to the parent. But it’s like she just goes out and texts me at 8/9pm to tell me she’s staying out, I say no and she doesn’t care. Even when I’ve spoken to the mums, they’re not people I know or friends I’ve heard of and I’m under the impression they’re not great parents.
Aibu to say I can’t cope with her?
I’m worried about social services, but at the same time need help. What will they do? I can’t physically keep her in if she wants to go. She’s just about going to school. I tell her not to go out after, but she does anyway, I just have to wait and see what time she comes home as she doesn’t answer the phone.
She has no boundaries now and there’s nothing I can do. She’s acting like she hates me and I’m so scared about what’s going to happen, to her as an individual and with social services.
