I have been in her life for approximately 1 month and she was so happy to meet me and I felt the same way. For 2 weeks she was on the right track then her "boyfriend" returned from an abrupt absence, now she is back to her old ways, staying gone for days at a time and constantly lying about where she is and who she is with. Mind you, this "boy" is 19 and I would love to put hands on him, yet I feel that since I wasnt there for the 1st 15 years of her life I have lil leverage on what I can say with out her bringing it up. She missed a whole semester of school and will probably have to do the 9th grade over again. Her mother and I have talked to her and explained that the road she is travelling doesnt lead anywhere, yet she continues to do what she feels. Is there anyone that has gone thru similar situation if so what was the outcome? I dont want to be a 36 year old Grandfather nor do I want my daughter to be a "loser"... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
