I'll start with some background. I'm a single father to a 14 year old DD that I've had custody of for 8 years. I got custody because her mother is mentally ill with schizophrenia and was abusing my DD. Her mother goes up and down in waves with her behaviour and I've always encouraged contact when she is well, but her mother stays away when she is ill. There has never been any normal relationship between them, and until a few months ago, DD was saying that she no longer wanted to see her at all.
Three weeks ago, I got up to get a drink of water at 2.00am and found DD's bedroom door ajar with the light and tv on. I popped my head into her room to tell her to get to sleep, and was confronted with my worst nightmare ! There was some strange 6 foot tall man on top of DD in bed, I screamed, 'what the hell is going on' and DD leaped out of bed with quilt around herself. Neither of them would say a word, so I grabbed the man and threw him out of my house. In doing so I found DD's bed was covered in blood. I couldn't get any sense out of her other than it was her boyfriend, who she had never mentioned to me, so I left it until the next day.
I called her mother and asked her to talk to [DD - name removed] and try to help with the situation, so she came around in a taxi. My daughter had packed a few bags of clothes and left, and has refused to see me, or talk to me ever since, I have no idea why ??? DD is staying with her mother and will not listen to anything I text her, despite me having full custody and parental responsibility for her. I have raised DD without any help, financial or otherwise, from her mother for 8 years and loved and supported her unconditionally. I don't want to have to force her to come home through the courts, but I'm at my wits end and worried sick for her. I'd be hugely grateful for any advice.
