She's been living w/ my mother-in-law for almost 18 months. She messed up, joined bad crowds, was behaving in a really unacceptable way. We had to punish her severely. She apologized, said she regretted and would change. But anyway we were firm, she was grounded from almost evrything for 4 months, had a bad time. Maybe we went overboard, but we wanted to be able to trust her again. This let the girl devasted, she didn't expect that from us, and though she changed got extremely resentful and depressed. Her grandma loves her a lot, had some influence over my hubby, gave the girl love and trust and we agreed she spent some time with her. She moved, made new friends, new school, today is a wondeful girl, but never gor over what happened. Says we didnt trust her, weren't her parents when she needed us most. She doesnt want to come back home and her granma neither. She hardly talks w/ us, avoids us. Should I make her get back home anyway? I feel I'm losing my girl, this is devastating
