That’s my fear, pushing too much so I lose all contact. But she’s 16 and giving her all this freedom just feels wrong.
Her dad and I aren’t together, he was a heroin addict (my daughter doesn’t know this). His brother was the same, so this has always been on my mind, is it hereditary? We aren’t united but he will be joining the mediation, we need to align on boundaries. I ask her to be home at a certain time, he doesn’t so she stays at his. I wont give her money/cash, I will buy her clothes etc, he gives her a lot of money.
The root cause…it could be anything, I have a few ideas. She says she just hates life, she’s hiding. But I’m hoping the drug counsellor she is seeing will help her identify this.
