Good Morning Everyone and thank you for your advice regarding my daughter, well I am not pleased to say my daughter is now in America and has hardly text me or let me know she is fine, I did however manage to get through to her phone after trying for ages, she was crying and saying everything was fine when surely it isn't, she was shaking when speaking and there are other people in the house, She sounded really weird and annoyed I had called and I could hear music and this man asking who she was speaking to, he sounded annoyed, I am at my wits end, it is 2.25 in the morning and I can't sleep, when I text her and ask her about the texts she just says I didn't get that message, even when I tell her about her pet dog she loves him so much, but she just wasn't interested. I don't know what to do. I have tried to beg her not to go and at 20 years old you would think she would know better, she said she felt ill yesterday and I was worried and I text her and she just did not text back, I am very worried...

I read your original post, and I'm so sorry for what you're going through. If you know where she is, you can call the local authorities to preform a welfare check. Other than that, I'm afraid your daughter will have to deal with the consequences.

To be honest, you may be worrying too much. If she's having fun she may well sound annoyed when she answers the phone to you, and if you're interrupting something then the man may sound annoyed too! It's hard to interpret things you hear over the phone...she also won't be interested in the dog - if she's having a good time she doesn't want to be reminded of what she's missing at home!

In the nicest possible way (I have a 20 year old daughter who is a little 'immature' for her age, and yes, I would worry about her in this situation), don't phone, don't hassle. Leave her alone. If she's ill, there's nothing you can do at this distance, trust that you've done a good job of turning her out to stand on her own feet, and wait for her to come home. Hopefully she will have had nothing more than a really exciting holiday!

Might have made more sense to post this on the other thread than start another one.

I think she did shatner. Either that or I'm having deja vu Grin

I hope your daughter returns safely and wiser OP
