My first time here, I'm lost!
My 16yr old daughter moved out whilst I was out of the house, I came home to a letter!!!! We txt morning/night everyday, she living with her boyfriend & his family(the mother didn't even advise her to come home?!?) I see her every Sunday and am trying to maintain some kind of relationship. My main question.... when she moved out she took minimal belongings, she came home for the day yesterday and asked to take more items. I said she could take anything she bought or boyfriends & family bought for her! I said no to all the expensive items we bought her (Xbox, laptop, clothes, GHDs etc)! She does have a lot of clothes with her! This caused a lot of upset and an extremely miserable child for the rest of the day! Now I'm thinking I should allow her more clothes? Advice please, thank you.

Glad that you had a good day with your DD OP. I totally disagree with PPs implying that she left because of you! How many parents would be ok with their DD moving in with her BF at 16 in the middle of GCSEs? Most parents would do anything to stop this from happening. It is obvious that you love your DD and that you have a good relationship because even after all this, she still wants to have you in her life.
