My daughter is 15 and just moved here to live with me. She lived with her father from age 10 to 15.
We live in an apartment and she mentioned that we might be moving to her father. He said that the "world will be upside down" if he finds out that we have moved into an apartment. He wanted to visit over the holidays, but I have decided not to have any contact with him because of this threat. Any suggestions.
Also, my daughter's heart and mind are always with her Dad, grandmother and friends from the other state that she moved from. She gets up in the morning or comes home from school and talks on the phone for about 1 hour. Then, she starts her homework.
I don't know how to change her focus so that its not so much on her past life. She keeps saying "I hate it here." Then, she pushes me or throws a plate on the floor that I am eating. I get upset with her then. I don't know how to handle her?
Its a difficult situation. I feel like a failure.
