My daughter normally lives with her mum but four weeks ago at the start of the school holiday she had an argument with her mum and threw a candle at her head. The police were called by her mum, and my daughter was removed from the house by her step farther to diffuse the situation.

This is really only the tip of the iceberg as my daughters behaviour is terrible at the moment. She lies steals and causes drama all the time. The relationship between my daughter and her mum is very volatile. She is on her last warning at school and is almost on a managed move to another school.

Since they police incident she has been staying between myself and her step dad and has not returned home to her mum. Her mum has shown no real interest in her daughter apart from sending a text once a day to either myself or step dad asking if she is ok ? She has made no effort to contact her daughter directly or to arrange to see her !?!? All
Communication between myself and mum is through text and she’s refusing to meet up or talk on the phone to discuss the situation !

I live in a 1 bed house and have been sleeping on he couch for the last few weeks.

How can I get my daughter and her mum back on track so she can return home as she has her own bedroom and has young girl issues that a women needs to deal with.

Try talking to your daughter while she is happy, find out what she is interested in then arrange a date where she can do that with her mum. If this doesn’t work, why not try to take her to a child psychologist who will give you advice on how to deal with her? Hope this helps Smile
