how do I stop my 14 year old daughter from leaving the house, when she won't tell me where she's going?
It was the 1st Friday night after the Sunday that she started living at her father's house full-time (vs. part-time for the past 10 years). I agreed to let her live there because after she threatened to commit suicide if I didn't, my therapist told me to tell her ok (I didn't think she's actually do it, nor did I think my ex would allow it). After fighting about telling me - I let her leave , emphasizing to be home on-time, and not high on anything or smelling like smoke or alcohol (she came home earlier than expected and in clean condition). I gave up the battle because we had fought earlier about her desire to not have a relationship with me at all, now, or when she's an adult! She also said she's not gonna want a relationship with her father either when she's adult. I could go on....it's very complicated. I figure I should tell her she can't sleep at my house if she's not gonna respect my rules, ex: telling me where she's going. My family therapist is on vacation for 2 weeks!
