Daughter has left home

<p>I’m so sorry, Momma-three. Know that we’re thinking about you. Easy does it… Just keep doing the next best thing, and do it with love. Your daughter will reach out when she’s ready.</p>

<p>Prayers and good vibes for you and your family. I’m thinking about you every day.</p>

<p>Thankyou aibarr…a day at a time.</p>

<p>Momma-three, I have been lurking here, too, and I haven’t responded because I really don’t know anything I could say that hasn’t already been said. But I just wanted you to know that there is one more person out there who is praying for you and your family.</p>

<p>I don’t want a confrontation…I don’t want a confrontation…We will do this without a confrontation…our mantra as we head out the door.</p>

<p>good luck to you today momma three</p>

<p>Give her a choice… She can give you all the car back, or you all can take it back.</p>

<p>If she confronts you, sidestep her anger, let her words go by you, and return only your love to her. Remember to not nag, argue, lecture, or recall past mistakes. Don’t underestimate the importance of release with love.</p>

<p>I’m over here rooting for you…</p>

<p>Good luck, momma-three. This is a no-fun situation. But the car belongs to you. YOu can let her take her belongings out of it if you choose, or simply drive it away, if you want to avoid a confrontation.</p>

<p>Thankyou aibarr,lindz, mattmoose and others…I will remember to let go with love. My heart is aching for her and I wish things were different. We are leaving now.</p>

<p>Thinking of you this morning, hoping for the best for you and your family.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s a good move. A car is a luxury, when she can afford one then she can have one. Until then she can get around on the bus.</p>

<p>Just a terrible scene at my house. Her boyfriend drove her here to get all of her things from the car. She screamed on the top of her lungs for all the neighbors to hear using the most foul ugly language imaginable. She told us that she will never see us again.</p>

<p>oh my goodness mommathree, and you were hoping to avoid a confrontation. take a breath and remember her behavior is not reflective of you.</p>

<p>{{hugs}} momma-three.</p>

<p>I’m so sorry, Momma-three. That sounds awful. In the midst of all her drama, it’s hard for you to remember you love her and want the best for her. Know that you are doing the right thing by making her face reality. She must learn that a car with insurance does not fall like the gentle rain from heaven.</p>

<p>I’m sorry to hear that happened. Some young people need to foul the nest in order to break free. My brother, who lived with my mom until his mid 30s, did something similar when my aged mom moved out of state to live with me. He cursed us out and threatened to kill us.</p>

<p>He acted like that out of fear, I know. He wanted the independence of an adult, but was terrified. </p>

<p>Later, he reconciled with her and me.</p>

<p>My older S did something similar, too, and broke ties with my H, younger S and me for a couple of years. </p>

<p>Of course going through something like this is hurtful and embarrassing. You’re also scared of what may happen to your daughter. Please realize, though, that what she’s doing is not your fault. </p>

<p>You didn’t cause her to act this way, you can’t control her, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t keep her from doing things that hurt herself.</p>

<p>You can love her, and can take care of your own health and well being. You can post her and participate in support groups to get support. You don’t have to let your daughter’s actions ruin your life.</p>

<p>((((hugs))))</p>

<p>I don’t have any advice, but if it helps, I think you are doing the best you can under very difficult circumstances.</p>

<p>I’m sorry, momma-three.</p>

<p>Your daughter needs to grow up and the best way for you to facilitate that is to treat her like she is a grown-up. Don’t give into these dramatics, try not to let the scene bother you.</p>

<p>I am so heartbroken that I just do not have any words. I feel sick to my stomach and fear for what she will do next. She threatened to damage the house, breaking windows, slamming the car that is blocking the car she was using, flooding our basement by breaking the windows and putting the running hose down the basement. </p>

<p>I am lost and can’t believe the kid that was here is mine.</p>

<p>Husband discovered money missing from the house. It must have been when she was here early in the week.</p>

<p>(((hugs))) I’m so sorry momma-three. I’m thinking of you.</p>
