Completely agree, my 14 year old son soon to be 15 was a straight A honor role student. He was also an athlete, promising future in basketball. He got scouted out to a AAU basketball team and to make a long story short they made it to nationals in South Carolina last year (Silver medal). After the season was over he started acting out, running away. I gave up his guardianship to his former basketball coach and his wife. He was there for 5 months, he wasn't running away but he was getting suspended on a weekly basis. They kicked him out of the house after the last suspension. He has been home for 4 months now and was doing good on an off. He was actually good for a month and then there he goes again, he ran away 2 weeks ago for no reason. I'm fed up with the situation, I've tried everything and nothing has worked. Children and youth, giving up guardianship, local authorities, family strengthening programs, counseling, guidance counseling at school, sports, lots of love, taking away privileges and tough love. Nothing has work, he breaks things in the house and is always threatening me with running away. He comes home when my husband and i are working, he eats, takes a shower, sleeps and leaves before i come home. I'm so fed up I completely prohibited my daughter to open the door for him. It hurts me a lot to do this but how is he going to learn if he has the best of both worlds. It kills me not to know where he is and the type of people he is surrounded by, but is not fare for my other kids. I feel so powerless and frustrated. I came to the conclusion that the only person that can do anything is God. Even when is really difficult some times I know my loving Jesus is in control. All I can do for him right now is pray. I have mixed emotions. I'm very sad, but really angry at the same time. Your post made me feel less guilty. Thanks and God bless you and your family.

It seems that's you've left out much details as to WHY she might be feeling this way towards you. Perhaps she's realized you have an imaginary bearded friend in the sky and you need help?
Just try living with my son for 2 minutes, you will see that your daughter is a normal teenager and you are too demanding. She is safe with her grandparents so what's your problem. If you was living on the streets then you'd have something to worry about.
