I ask this because I know I had a good reason to leave home (well, many good reasons)... what are your daughters reasons?

((( HUGS )))
I think that a lot of it has to do with her dad. This is what she's telling me anyways. She had this other bf, and my ex wouldn't let them see each other after the fact that she got caught with the boy in her room. You know at one time she was doing really well in school. When she was doing good her dad wouldn't let her have that much freedom. You know if something she didn't like she would tell the both of us about it, and you could trust her. I did anyways, but I'm not so sure about her dad. Well after this other bf, she completely changed when her dad would not allow her to be with him. She was really depressed about him. I don't know what happened (because she was sneaking to see him) to their relationship, but they broke up. After that all happen she was still depressed, and finally my ex took her to a therapist. From what they told me I guess my daughter thought it was a joke. Well I ended up having her for a short amount of time, and I took her to my PDOC because I have anxiety, and she also has it to from what my PDOC told me. I was going to have her treated and she just ended up leaving. My Dr. did tell me that young people tend to act out their anxiety with anger. And she is always angry. She has been telling me that she just wants to be on her own. I would like to add that when she was with me all I ever heard come out of her mouth was that she wanted to get high. Her dad also put her out and before she came with me she was living at her grandma's house and there is a cousin over there who my daughter was sneaking off with. This cousin is 18 and she goes out and gets high and this and that, and this is how my daughter meet her bf now. I did tell her today when she texted me that I was proud of her for getting a job, because she did tell me that. Hopefully she will finish school. You know her dad should have left her with the other boy, because he has graduated,working, and he's going to college. I don't approve of them sneaking in her dad's house, (that was just plain out wrong) but at least he has something going for him. I can't say that about this boy. One night she told me he was off doing cocaine, but now she tells me that they don't do drugs. I can't help it I'm so upset about it.
