- I am a 38yr old full time mom of 3 daughters ages 17, 15, and 2 1/2 . I am a homemaker so I can stay at home to raise my kids .
- About my teenager:
- My 17 yr old seems to think I am ruining her life because I wont let her date a 20 yr old guy that is abusive and disrespectful . I have gotten the paperowrk sent in for a no contact order just waiting to here from the court ( She left her work place with this guy without us knowing and knowing herself that it was forbidden!!) . My other daughter 15 is not alot of trouble .
- The one question I would like to ask Sarah.
- How can I get thru this stage with my teen and make her understand I am not the bad guy ?
- My biggest challenge.
- This guy and her not being allowed to date him . They dated at one time and he cheated on her and was doing drugs so we put an end to it . Her attitude has changed and we just cant trust her after we found out she left her workplace and got in the car with him and left . She will not actually turn 17 till the 29th of Dec. We have been dealing with this for over a yr now . HELP !!!

Well what a situation you are in....and I think the answer is that really you can not stop her doing anything - the only person we have control over really is ourselves. She will see you as the bad guy and sometimes we have to be OK with that as parents. The most empowering thing you can do is work on the relationship with her......and build this up. Sometimes our children need to learn their own lessons however painful for us.
What feels like a positive step forward you could take?
