DD has been Home a few times for dinner the last few weeks but has been missing college a bit (I get emails informing me) but her tutor hasn’t replied to any of my emails.

Her A’levels are fast approaching and I am worried she is going to Mrs them up.

A few times she has said she is coming home to stay the night and then texted saying she has changed her mind.

Her friend contacted me this morning asking if she is ok as she posted on Twitter last night (when she said she was coming home but did not) “I challenge you to find anyone who is more heartbroken and destroyed than me right now” and “well this is the most painful thing I have ever experienced but thank god for friends like X who drop everything thing to come and get you when something shitty happens” the friend who sent the tweets to me has fallen out with DD but was worried about her and had sworn me to secrecy.

I sent DD a breezy text asking how everything is and sending lots of love and she said everything is fine.

This girl is just blowing hot and cold on her (she’s 17 Hmm and I am stopping myself from texting the girls mother and just asking her to send DD Home to live so her DD can stop messing her about and DD can just concentrate on her bloody A’levels Angry

So sorry you're having to cope with this MrsDylan - personally I think that killing her with kindness is probably the way forward. She'll hopefully then see what she's missing. Pop over with something she loves (food/drink), message her some photos from when she was younger at happy family occasions.

When DD was in an abusive relationship, I found that all the shouting and threatening didn't work - she just carried on being deceitful and putting up with crap. Eventually she saw the light.

Sorry is she boarding or living with GF? If boarding, I'd go get her. If living with GF, why?

Flora, OP's daughter moved in with her girlfriend and family. Girlfriend's mum welcomed her with open arms.

what an awful situation, just keep the door open for her, make sure she knows she can come back and dont judge or comment on her gf, I hope she is home where she belongs soon

Could you tempt her out with a treat? Fave cafe/restaurant/shop and get her to somewhere neutral and away from her GF and GF DM to chat? Keep it breezy and don't fish, let her tell you. Might open the flood gates or at least let her begin to open up. I remember your other thread, I'm so sorry you're in this situation Flowers

Do something to make her know you are there for her.
